Looking at taking a Tuscan over to the USA – what octane fuel is in the USA?
Would really need 95 but I have heard the highest is 91.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

You can get Super 94 but don't worry too much. Octane is specified differently in the US. Here in the UK it is RON, (Research Octane Number). In the US it is (R+M)/2 or something like that, but in reality the Numbers quoted in the US are lower than the equivalent RON number. If memory serves Super 94 is equivalent to our Super 98. I suspect others can provide more detail.
