It actually exists in Greece and it's  an 100 octaine (http://www.bp.com/ultimate/gr/default.asp) fuel.

Usually, those Scoobie drivers know their stuff...

We can get 100 octane for about £2/liter  s:) :) s:)  Pretty expensive compared to £0.6/liter for 99 octane...

Apparently there won't be a national rollout until January, but if anyone does catch how much it is, I'd be interested to know.

It is NOT 100RON in the UK. It is there standard SUL plus additives.

Which I am, so you are probably right. Although, assuming they are close in their properties, at least you can look for Shell and BP garages, which widens the options in some places.

This is true, I didnt think of that.  Should make things easier for Import drivers.
