I agree, but it'd be nice to have better options around here.

Swedes aren't Europeans. They are Scandinavians. That's like calling someone from the US a "North American".

I use non ethanol 91 octane only pure-gas.org tells you locations with pure gas ethanol is terrible unless your car is setup to handle all of its downfalls ( better fuel pump,correct fuel Injectors, fuel lines made to withstand it and proper tuning) and most. 93 octane gas is simply 91 octane with ethanol added to it to increase the octane rating just an FYI

I'd be surprised if there were any difference at all, honestly, especially if you aren't at sea level. The only reason there would be a power difference would be if the lower octane caused detonation (and thus the ECU had to retard the timings a bit). 91 should be high enough to avoid that except in possibly extremely hot, sea-level conditions. As was mentioned by a prior poster, here in Colorado, 91 is as high as it gets (since the altitude reduces octane requirements).

Someone from the U.S. is a North American.

Yes, that's the point. But we call someone from the U.S. an "American".

Same here in Arizona, wish I could get 93 prefer to be at recommended not min

Well, some would say it is an imperial prerogative.

But actually it is legitimate, since the USA is the only nation on the two continents that has "America" in its name.

E.G. "Brazilians" are from the "United States of Brazil".

Where do you find grades higher then 91? That's all I have around here in northern San Diego , is 91 ok for the long run?

Did you forget about Central America?

On a side note, I now know it's called a "fuel filler gun".

What happens if I continue to add more gas???
I always do this

You mean clicky clackity topping off? I heard that it is actually bad for the car as the overfilled fuel will evaporate and go to places that is not designed to go. Also you end up paying more for less gas as some of the fuel will shoot back into the pump.
