You know how most stations use 10% ethanol and stuff in their gas etc. Do they do that too in the UK? What else if u guys know is the difference as in other additives such as lead etc?

No Lead, usually no ethanol, unless they say it has.

They use a different scale of Octane ratings, it works out to about 5 'octanes' higher than the US. So their gas goes from around 92 (our 87 regular) to 100 (our 95 superdooper) and don't let 'em bullshit you different!
