our Ultra 98 is the same as the 93 US and not the 91.. KNPC confirmed it as a 95 PON but i doubt it..

The ultra super 98 octane in kuwait is the same as 91 octane in the US .. That’s what “g-force”said after sending a sample to them

mEL: I read somewhere that higher octane only avoids knocking and gives better acceleration but mileage normally goes down with higher octane fuel.

Iirrespect of the Octane No. in kuwait the problem is really in the residues & impurities in the fuel(including water ),the worst impuriteis are the gums that burn and damage the pistons. and if Kuwait’s fuel stayed for too long in the tank ( like parking a car or bike off season ) it disolves the rubber parts & seals around the submerged fuel pum and rusting the tank

The expensive 98 ( green pumps ) is actually IMPORTED !! That is why it is too expensive for Kuwait.
If your vehicle is not a high performing one the I suggest one full-up of the 98 Octane after every three full-up of the lower octane

True but in the case of octane it is impossible, look it up.
BTW: I work in the oil sector for 8 years now and bumped heads with CEO’s of major company’s and heads of marketing.

Lucky people.. I pay £70 (37KD) to fill my r33 skyline (65 litres tank) here in the uk.. at £1.08 a litre and it does 25mpg if I drive her gently, which is hard!
It will only use shell v-power too which is the most expensive. I was told that in Japan they have some really high ocatne juice. I think Kuwait should give all its citizens abroad a free fuel card.. Mark.. please bring that into power when you become mayor :p

From my experience gas chromatography can do a pretty accurate job.
