IMHO, this is not a question of octane. The quality of the fuel has nothing to do with the octane rating. You can get dirty valves from cheap fuel, regardless of the octane rating.

Here in western europe, you can buy gas anywhere - it's all basically the same. When you go farther east (Poland, Czech Republic, etc.) you need to be careful, since the quality is lower and the gas is often not clean, even if you buy super-plus 98.
