Since E-10 is the most common fuel in this area, I used it as the base and the non-oxy as the improvement.
This returns a percentage increase of just over 10% minimum to a maximum of just over 25.5%.

So which is real? The math that can be manipulated or the real world "observations" that are in fact real?

One big difference, in Spain, fuel on the motorways is not hiked in price by 20% as we have in the UK. Same with coffee and food. You won't get a coffee for a quid at a motorway service station in the UK.

Technically a quid is a sovereign, or as Terry in "Minder" would say a "sov".
Of course, a "sov" is a pound sterling.
A guinea, on the other hand, is a gentleman's unit of measure. People in the formal professions would mark their fees in guineas; a mere tradesman would be paid in pounds.
A guinea is 1 pound, 1 shilling.
Quid is also used as not being "the full quid", a version of a bloke being "a sandwich short of a picnic".

20 in a pound, 21 in a guinea.....simples! We won't even touch on Crowns, Half Crowns and Double Florins.

Very good Aussie Import.

Would you please explain rods, perches, furlongs and chains to Mr 36654. He might need to know about these if he ever ends up in England and needs to communicate a measurement to one of the natives? Thank you.

We could also get into tanners, ponies, half-dollars, tons, lettuce etc. but better not go there!

I too have never heard 'not the full quid' but 'not the full shilling' certainly is still used.

That's a relief then! Glad to hear it and Aussie Import won't have to go to all that trouble to explain it for you!
