American fuel pump

[Rooster]

I wonder how many people have wrongly fuelled their cars with fuel pump hoses this colour!

I assume thats the octane rating on the nozzle? I like that idea. 91 doesn't seem much for super+ unless their octane system is different to ours. Which wouldn't surprise me.

Definitely different. I've seen a few articles regarding this.

A quick snippet from Google

In Europe, the octane rating on the pump is simply the RON figure. America, by contrast, uses the average of the RON and the MON figures, called the AKI (anti-knock index). Thus, 97 octane “super unleaded” in Britain is roughly equivalent to 91 octane premium in the United States.

A couple of years ago i filled up the rental car on the way back to the airport with 87, and after that it was as flat as a fart!
