Basically they list ratings by a different system which means the figure on their pumps will be about 5 points lower than on ours.

I think their premium gas is the same as our standard stuff. Whether they'd let the car in could be a bigger problem - needs to be 25 years old from early 1992 Griff threads I've read.

Are you seriously considering taking your car to the US?

As already said, the US uses a different rating system over here. I have a Griffith coming over in November. I also have some other British classics and they run fine on the premium grade here, in fact they seems to run on the regular too but the are old carb cars and not performance TVRs. It is still possible to by zero ethanol petrol here too but it tends to be the mid grade octane.
As for a temporary import it should be pretty straightforward, but as mentioned in the other threads I think insurance would be the major hurdle. Hagerty might be a good place to start seeing as they operate in the U.K. and US.
Southampton to Charleston, SC on RoRo is probably less than £1000 and takes about 2-3 weeks. It would be a nice place to start a driving tour too. Spring or early autumn would be great times and the mountains are about 4-5 hours away for the twisties. See Tail of the Dragon in NC, Tn.
