The higher octane would have it's own issues re shims and such but unless you're getting it for free, why would you want to?

premium gas is what, about 1.04/l now whereas 100ll is what, $1.53/l??

It's about $4/US gal so taking into account our (non)service stations rob us more than Americans (I added another 20% Canadian sucker tax after conversion) that's around 1.53/l CDN (hope I didn't mess up the math).

Seeing as you're asking, how much you paying for avgas?
