I wouldn't want to take that into a supermarket car park.

I was always careful where i parked it.
A Supermarket would have been a definite no,no.

Quite understand mate!!!
Those supermarket filling stations, whilst wonderfully cheap for unleaded always have been a "no no" for genuine octane-rated fuel!

 

[Oldsmobile-88]

Ordinary unleaded (95 octane) was suitable G2K.
The car had spent most of its life in the states.
The USA had unleaded fuel long before the UK & the car was set up for that variation of gasoline.
US ordinary unleaded has a lower octane rating than in the UK.No worries of ‘pinking’ on that score.
