i use 95 and sometimes 98, a liter of 98 is something around 1 euro.
It's probably not rated on the same system, the numbers mean different things.

i dont know how many liters does a gallon have. 1 liter of 98 is around 1 euro, croatian money is called kuna, 1 euro is 7 kunas. i fill 45 liters of 95 which is something about 1$ per liter

The timing is "when" the intake and exhaust cams open in relation to the stock setting, and the piston position. An advanced timing of "14" (14 degrees by the way), means that the cams are turned 14 degrees ahead of their stock position, thus opening the intake valves earlier.

I may be a little off, but that's about the jist of it.

There's no advantage of uping the octane in a stock car unless the timing is changed.

supermarket mathematics at work....3.8 litres of soda to 1 gallon of milk . so instead of a 14.5 gallon capacity tank... it'd be about 55.1 litres. so at $1.17 us dollars to 1 euro, figure it's 4 euros for a gallon or $4.50 something for a gallon of gas??? and as for the exploding motor cycle, the details are sticky as to what actually happend, but he was literally blown apart going over 120 mph.
peace
