Alkylate petrol is common there and widely available.

Thanks Rik. Interesting couple of points re Coleman fuel in Norway - basically it appears as if they don't have it! see extract below.
Searching for Coleman fuel. A merry chase around Trondheim.... Most people had no idea what I wanted, although a variety of unsuitable fuels were offered. One hardware shop even displayed a Coleman-Fuel stove, but the staff couldn't tell me where to get the fuel! Eventually a knowledgeable assistant in a sports shop came up with the answer - a chemists! The second chemist I tried produced a half-litre glass bottle of "heptan" (no fancy name). At last, the right stuff! Pour into stove+Sigg bottle and ... hot food, melted snow!
Also found the list slightly misleading re India. Working out there for a month, I got so bored in the evenings I made literally dozens of pepsi alcohol stoves (mainly from beer cans!) However, couldn't find any alcohol/meths anywhere, including asking for Methanol and/or ethanol at pharmacies.

Cheers - see you there!
Try Oslo sportslager. The shop is located at Torggata 20.
Or you could try G-Max at Storo, adress; Vitaminveien 6.
Some sporting goods stores (like XXL) sell the Primus variant. I guess it is the same as the coleman.
Most people using petrol burners just buy "Miljøbensin" at a petrol station. They have it on 4 litre cans. Just remember to buy the 4 stroke version.

Good point about the Primus version Tor, its called 'Primus Power Fuel', I had some from Germany in 1l and 2.5l containers. Optimus do the same and if memory serves its branded 'Arctic Fuel'.
You'll love that set, the stove is half the heat output of the 111 but...the pan design is superb, efficient and makes up for that
