The only item on the check list I am really worrying about is how to get around the low octane fuel for 1000-2000 miles (perhaps less - I still need to check it). In fact, I have to find out that next.
Back to OP, I will run a tank of 87 and log data with OFT. I kinda hope, that measured driving style could limit knocking ... Maybe naive thinking.

Here is a thought that might help a bit.
When I was traveling in Europe, while stationed in the Army, I could buy gas at the EES for $.23 per gallon. On the economy it was selling for $.67 per gallon. I was driving a VW bug. So, I borrowed two 20 liter poly-something containers, that my landlord used in his business to transport dry cleaning fluid. I positioned these containers in the front of my bug, hidden under an Army blanket. That about doubled the range of my car on relatively cheap gasoline, allowing me to make it to another military installation.
(please folks, no lectures on how dangerous that was -
)
So, Andy, where in your head, did you start off from?
(London or Cape Town?)
