Octane rating of petrol needs to be taken into account- standard unleaded here is 91 octane, premium is 95( I understand this is Standard in Europe, add about 8 cents a litre over 91 oct). There is also 98 octane about another 5 cents dearer again. Nobody mentions that when they want to convince us that our petrol isn’t really too dear.
