Here's a direct link to a review on a somewhat less biased site:
Edmunds.com.

Compared to $5-6 a gallon? That's pretty close to free.

What, did you think he was quoting the price in New Zealand dollars,
perhaps? ;-P

Thanks for the links guys..... I really hope I find a nice one.
Anything I should look out for ? signs of abuse ??

I will propably raise the question again here, once I get closer to an
actual purchase.

wasn't this because they took out the lead in gas??

No. Lead reduction in automotive gasoline began in 1973 but it was not
legally withdrawn by the EPA until 1996 although it has been in dwindling
supply for some years. It is still available for off-road use.

The Motor method was developed back in the 20's and the Research method was
developed in the early 40's for the octane needs of high compression
aircraft engines.

They measure different "types" of motor use but are measured on the same
test engine whose current design is very similar to the originals and has
been in use since 1952. (Waukesha Engine)

There have been other rating methods proposed over the years. Most are
derivations of the established methods or are specific to an engine's design
or to specific operating conditions.

There is another interesting fuel octane measurement referred to as
sensitivity.
Sensitivity = RON - MON . Because the two test methods use different test
conditions, especially the intake mixture temperatures and engine speeds,
then a fuel that is sensitive to changes in operating conditions will have a
larger difference between the two rating methods. Modern fuels typically
have sensitivities around 10. The US 87 (RON+MON)/2 unleaded gasoline is
recommended to have a 82+ MON, thus preventing very high sensitivity fuels
[39]. Recent changes in European gasoline's has caused concern, as high
sensitivity unleaded fuels have been found that fail to meet the 85 MON
requirement of the EN228 European gasoline specification
