Almost correct. It's intended to use European _standard_ mogas (95 Octane,
often referred to confusingly as 'premium', but North American folks please
we aware we measure Octane differently, quoting higher numbers for the same
stuff). The _premium_ stuff (97 to 98, often called 'super') is not
recommended for use in aircraft (some volatility issues at altitude, I
believe).
As an aside for the UK folks, rumours are currently rife that Shell is about
to release V-Power here instead of the current Optimax - which means 99 or
100 Octane for your sports cars.
