[QUOTE="6UE5t, post: 1064277917, member: 103722"] Well actually the US octane rating is based on AKI (Anti-Knock Index) which is avg. value between RON & MON (Motor Octane Number). They have only up to 91 AKI rated fuels which is widely available in the US. Converted to RON, it should be about equivalent to our RON95 maybe max RON96 at best, but not yet reaching RON97-98.[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] Yeap, I remember they tested like 4 fuels: Shell98, Esso97, BP97 and BP95 as the base. Their best test result came from Shell98 which gave >4HP increase over the baseline BP RON95. Next best was the Esso97 with also about 4HP increase, only beaten by 0.xx HP compared to the Shell98, practically negligible difference. Then the BP97 surprisingly only gave The GTI I think was also already lightly modded as it already produced around 236HP with the BP95, then increased to around 240HP with the Shell98 & Esso97.
