In other words, European Gas is MUCH better than US gas in every way.
Why they don't use the same formula ?
Maybe it's why the gas in Europe is damn expensive compared to US. ??

Hi Laurent,
I've no doubt that European fuel is blended differently but the biggest reason why it costs so much more is because they tax it heavily. I believe the taxes run from 40% to 80% of the cost per liter.

The main reason is because of the large US Ethanol market. The US produces a large amount of corn and out of that comes Ethanol. This is the same reason why the additive of choice is not Butanol which is a much better Alcohol for fuel use than any other Alcohol. Butanol is produced out of Chlorophyll based plants such as grass clippings, leaves and other green plants and has a Octane rating of 90. These just are not a economical produce. Butanol could be the answer to all of our fuel problems for internal combustion engines. I used to run it in my stock KZ900 all the time a few years ago when I had regular access to it. The use of Butanol required ZERO engine or carb modifications including jetting. Butanol also has a combustion ratio of about 16:1
where do you get butanol?
I was buying Butanol from Sunnyside in 55gal drums. (Butyl Alcohol)
