Keep in mind those that read this is that what's given is the RON octane rating... not the (RON+MON)/2 that US pumps use. (i.e. 90 octane on a US pump is not the same as the 90 octane given above).

Typical US 87 octane has a RON octane rating of 91-92, a MON rating of 82-83... thus (R+M)/2 = (91+82)/2 = (173)/2 = 86.5, or (92+83)/2 = (175)/2 = 87.5, average them out: (86.5+87.5)/2 = (174)/2 = 87 octane

lol... about what was said above or what i said?

simply put... two different octane numbers can mean the same fuel. just depends on which method of identifying it is used.

90 in europe is the same as 87 in the US.
