So your 98 is our 93. Which explains your loss of power with the 95. At 100+ though all fuels (I think) are measured on the same scale. So your 100 octane would be 100 in the US. Thanks for the update.

Most places in the US (except a few random locations, sunoco will sometimes have a 100 octane pump) you can only get 100+ at race tracks or from race vendors

In Germany they allready have 100 octane fuel on different stations. here in Lux only one station and that is BP. Aral will bring the new 102octane and then we will have everywere here in Luxembourg 100octane fuel

I was up in WI over the weekend, and came across a BP that had 103 octane race fuel at all pumps. There must of been a dragstrip or something near by.

What were they charging for it? There's a local station around here that caters to racers and sells 100 octane for around $8/gal.
