I use BP Ultimate here in NZ. It is 98 Octane. No 'pinking' for me.

At 98 Octane I hope there is no pinking or kanocking. About as close to that you can get around here is 100 Octane Low Lead AVGAS out at the airport.

Yeah, I would say Australia and New Zealand are enjoying great gas AND their summer right now with their rides...who says what is not fair (from another thread).
