Not only that, but German octane is different than US ratings.....

Now their you go i love it when a smarter than you goes and puts a fuel that uses an anti freeze in his car because he thinks he knows better than anyone else BTW the cats on t beener are pricy and when next month they clog and you have no power > the reason you have heard the car runs hotter < car is on the floor and only going 50 MPH - airplane fuel is for thin air at - 30* but you knew that i guess -- jz

Sorry, but we have no idea what they are selling us from the pumps. Here in Florida we are to have No More Than 10% but last November it was noted that 22% was being sold!

Try another test over a couple of tank fulls and let us know.

PS: Could be ethanol dislodged crud within the fuel system or has caused some hidden issues yet to surface...
