Sounds like an awesome area if there are so many Benz, Audi, and Lambo's! This reminds me of Malaysia's law where only citizens can buy Ron 95 and foreigners have to buy Ron 97 or higher.
3mpire, this is a great question. This is due to the different ways of rating Octane in each area. The two main ways of rating Octane in fuels are the Research Octane Number (RON) and the Motor Octane Number (MON). Europe, Japan and Australia only use RON numbers while America and Canadian fuels use an average of the RON and MON numbers (R+M/2). This results in a Octane rating that leaves American fuels averaging a rating of 5 points below their European counterparts. This means that a European Octane rating of 95 would be near equal to the American 90 Octane rated fuel. Simply, the fuels in Europe and America are pretty close to the same when it comes to Octane ratings even though the numbers look drastically different on the pump. Hope this answers your question and thanks for your support.
Good information
Thank you Indominus!
Very good information
Thank you, hopefully this video helps with your service light that came on lol
In my country..the minimum is ron 95,after tht 97 for merc audi lamborghini etc and the premium is ron 100. Ron 95 is for citizen only..
And also it's cheaper, like RM2.05 per litre or around US$1.74 per gallon.

Why do you have low-octane gasoline in America? in Italy and EU normal petrol has 95 octane, then there are the special ones with 100 and more octane.

@@UnforgottenTech Malaysia also used RON rating, and I believe Indonesia also used RON rating.
