You got us beat on octane for sure. We have 87 standard,89 mid-grade and 91 premium.Some places'  premium may be 92 or 93 octane instead. In the States they started phasing out leaded gas in '73. But it wasn't officially banned until 1996,and then only in pump gas,or on-road gas.Off-road fuels could still be produced with lead-race fuel,aircraft fuel and even some marinas sold leaded gas still for boat owners. But for the most part,since the early 70's leaded gas has been scarce,or more or less nonexistent.
