Sure it applies to all petrol fuels, but that's kinda my point.
The RON number is tied into the blend, but if the companies are spending more on the blend to ensure a resistance to knocking, to my thinking it makes sense that they would also spend a little more on the other additives too.
I'm not disagree that from a purely bang per buck argument there is little to be gained from a higher octane rating without engine mods, more that the "premium" fuels are more likely to contain additives that are a little more cosseting to the rest of the fuel line from tank to cylinder.
Noggy, was an option, but I decided that blowing shit up and cutting up dead stuff in front of bairns was more fun.
