Where to find proper fuel?
I have read that the Octanes indicated at pumps in US is different from what we are used to in Europe. Some compare directly RON 98 (as displayed in Europe, including on the fuel caps of performance cars, especially German) with 93 Octane fuel at pump stations in US.
Is that correct? That would mean that by using “93 Octane” fuel in the States we are fulfilling the RON 98 requirement on our cars? Last edited by Ascanio; 10-02-2021 at 11:41 PM.. |

lol calm down…. Octane ratings vary by region
95 RON is equal to 91 octane in the US.
