I can't remember if I answered the low-octane question elsewhere, but the R doesn't give a damn what you put in it: we had sub 90 octane stuff in Africa and it was sooty, but fine. we were told it was only 80-85, but that seemed implausibly low. I reckon some had been cut with oil or diesel and was quite waxy, but, again, the Rs didn't care.
good luck on your trip, Skidder
