Shell used to sell 100 RON petrol from a small number of service stations, most of which are located in capital cities (stopped in August 2008). Germany, big suppliers like Shell or Aral offer 100 RON gasoline (Shell V-Power, Aral Ultimate) at almost every fuel station. Italy, 95 RON is the regular gasoline offered (verde), and most fuel stations offer 98 RON as the premium type (Super/Blu Super), many Shell stations close to the cities offer also V-Power Gasoline rated at 100 RON Malaysia, the "regular" unleaded fuel is 95 RON, "premium" fuel is rated at 97 RON, and Shell's V-Power at 98 RON. Netherlands, Shell V-Power is a 97 RON (labelled as 95 due to the legalities of only using 95 or 98 labelling), whereas in neighbouring Germany Shell V-Power consists of the regular 100 RON fuel. Ireland, 95 RON is the only petrol type available through stations. Russia and CIS countries, 80 RON (76 MON) is the minimum available, the standard is 92 RON, however, the most used type is 95 RON.[citation needed] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating</a></blockquote>
