View Full Version : Octane ratings Australian vs USA. MrBlonde 03-09-2003, 07:49 AM Peeps, Does anyone know how to compare our octane ratings (unleaded, premium unleaded and Optimax/Ultimate, et al) to the US octane ratings? ultim8DTM5 03-09-2003, 09:19 AM I believe its something like: Unleaded = 89 Premium Unleaded = 92 That's all that I can recall. nicot 03-09-2003, 10:34 AM do they have an equivalent with our 98 ?? In US the petrol is more quantity than quality cos they got so many gaz guzzlers SUV and domestic cars.. CafeRacer 03-10-2003, 05:16 AM We use the RON rating, USA usually uses AKI rating. AKI is a higher im pretty sure (91RON is lower octane than 91AKI). Thats how i understand it anyway.:dunno BMWBOY 04-04-2003, 06:37 AM US petrol. Reguar is 87. premium is 91. I have never seen anything higher than 93 over there. ///MINI 04-10-2003, 02:48 PM SUNOCO offers 94 octane in the US. Other than that, the highest octane we have is 93, which is what I put in my car. Dnz 02-16-2004, 05:49 AM we can get 98! har har har Def 02-24-2004, 03:08 AM NZ and AU use the RON system, while the US uses R+M/2, which gives a lower number. As far as I can tell, the NZ 98 is about the same or slightly higher than the 93 octane from the States. Decal 07-14-2004, 10:30 PM yep, our 98 is roughly their 92/93 M1 #43022 07-16-2004, 01:26 AM yep, our 98 is roughly their 92/93 ABOUT RIGHT!
