since petrol in the EU uses the RON method of rating octane instead of the [RON+MON]/2 averaging method used in North America. EU 98 RON is equivalent to about 93 N.AMER., and EU 93 is equiv. to N.A. 87 octane.
RON=Research Octane Number
MON=Motor Octane Number
[RON+MON]/2=Pump Octane Number aka AKI number=Anti-Knock Index
Next time you gas up, look for the RON+MON/2 formula on the pump, required by federal statute.
