Conspiracy theory here would be believing the local petrol mafia when there's no testing publicly available to prove they're right while the opposite is available on pakwheels forums, specifically civic turbo threads. Most references here defending super are believing what some company insider told rather than independent testing.
This is hi octane testing. I have seen regular octane tests but can't find them now. I do distinctly remember regular getting 82-85.
The scale in this was calibrated properly according to the poster and no one disproved him. Now this was 2 years ago so things might've changed for the better. Still there is no testing yet to prove that so I'd rather believe the older info than the newer word of mouth info.
Some pumps might be giving better fuel quality as well. As an anecdote I've noticed better performance and efficiency with super from total garden town Lahore. In general have noticed that totals quality is better but I haven't got any concrete proof.

All pumps in Islamabad were tested to be giving lesser petrol than the meter reading. You guys are giving the local petrol mafia too much credit.
I personally use super most of the time but I would never be convinced of its quality unless some proper testing actually proves it. If the newer euro 5 hobc is actually euro 5, mmt should be reduced as well. On the same civic turbo forums people are reporting lesser deposits issues now.
If anyone has actual proper data supporting the local octane ratings being true please share, I'd love to be proven wrong. Otherwise it's just word of mouth bs to support self biases.
