    You don't happen to live/work near Rotterdam do you? I know there are a lot of refineries around there, I'm pretty sure the main big one around there is Shell if I'm not mistaken...

    I'm a small Dutch man myself XD, love the country but damn its flat

    you are correct sir
    And yes it's very flat over here.. good for fuel economy but bad for fun.. only workout the car gets hillclimbing, is getting over speedbumps

    Have a question... I want to be using 98, but car still has half a tank of 95 from the dealer. Someone told me I need to run near empty before filling with 98 otherwise it would be ineffectual?

    In most cases, the fuels will mix and the octane number will average out depending on the ratio.

    If they don't mix, the car will continue to burn 95 until it reaches the 'layer' of 98, and the car will adjust accordingly (but may not be noticeable to the driver).

    Either way, you can fill up with 98 any time you wish.
