There are at least two octane ratings, research octane # (RON) and motor octane # (MON). US gas pumps state the average of the two (AON), and I'm not sure which the owner's manual is talking about when it says to use 90...
Maybe somebody in Canada can read the placard on a gas pump to see what it says.
Anyway, my experience has been that lower AON gas gives slightly better gas mileage, but a bit less FPG (fun per gallon).
