And you have my sympathies for those gas prices, about $1 more per gallon than in my remote small town.
As I always say.....you can get better gas, but you can't pay more!

We only get 91 octane

Blimey! I’m based in the UK, but doesn’t a 991 require 97 or 98 octane to run properly?

91 and 93 RON in the US is very close to 97-98 octane in europe. Octane contents are measured differently in different regions.

RON is the scale used in Europe. In NA we use (RON+MON)/2=AKI (anti-knock index)

That’s because you’re not dividing it by 2!

Anyway, I am sure you pay more. (But does paying by the liter make you feel less sad?)

Have come to accept the high prices of petrol/petroleum/gas in the UK.

Currently paying around £1.30 per litre of 98 RON fuel.

Getting a fill up after a nice sampler pack of local canyon roads (a route inspired by the heavy I-680 traffic).

I think I saw, and then zig-zagged away from, the flies. That's the way I see it, anyway. J/k Truthfully, there's not a whole lot of bugs out around here. However, when I drive up I-5 through those farming towns, especially as the sun is going down, the bugs are out, bigly.

Yes, we do have twins, but mine is the non-S younger brother. Still great fun, though. Enjoy that beautiful Porsche!
