− | In Europe there are premium versions of the same octane-number (95 Normal 95 Premium 98 Normal 98 Extreme). So that wouldn't work. Also if you buy the premium version you are an idiot. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.114.222|162.158.114.222]] 10:48, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

− | :Your "In Europe" statement is not entirely true. I can't recall seeing such thing. In Germany for instance, we have "Normal" (91), "Super E10" (95 with 10% bio-ethanol), "Super" (95), "Super Plus" (98) and on bigger companies such as Shell or ARAL there are some 100 (V-Power/V-Power Racing/Ultimate 100) or even 102 (Ultimate 102) octane gasolines. "Normal" isn't sold anymore at most places, while E10 is - as far as I know - mandatory by law. Arguably you could say that some companies do sell "premium" while others sell "normal", though, but there is no "normal 95" and "premium 95" at the same station.

− | The upper-left side of http://xkcd.com/1110/ "Click and Drag" has a similar theme where someone is standing on a rooftop party and saying "I'm working at a small startup. Our business model is taking free drinks from industry events and reselling them." (Scroll to the left and follow the building upwards.)[[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.77|108.162.216.77]] 21:45, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

− | Too trivial for the Trivia section: in fact, in the natural gas business, we use pneumatic tools, rather than hydraulic, to avoid igniting our fossil fuel. They're just easier to handle where practical, because you don't have to deal with hydraulic fluid. Air is not going to cause a spill and require a hazmat response if it leaks out. I don't know what's used on gas station storage thanks, though. [[User:Nitpicking|Nitpicking]] ([[User talk:Nitpicking|talk]]) 03:58, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

− | The ratio between those two volumes is over 100%, why is "or" being used, instead of something like "from" and "to"? [[Special:Contributions/172.69.162.132|172.69.162.132]] 01:43, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

− | :One presumes the two articles quote two independant estimates (with country-specific design technicalities ''as well as'' one being in US Gallons and the other in Litres). Given the ratio between the systems is 3.785:1 (or 4.546:1 for Imperial), I can't reconcile with the conversion of 0.5:⅓rd, or vice-versa, but could be due to differing equipment setups being analysed. Can't check the links, either. One leads beyond a RegistrationWall that I really can't be bothered to deal with to extract what little detail I might expect to be includedz the other appears to be dead (or at least not very responsive right now, for me).

− | :If there was any editing to be done, better links (or at least double-checking that they're useful) might be my first priority, but go on from there. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.194.114|172.69.194.114]] 03:55, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
