Steffro Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I spent the summer in Canada - at the petrol station the regular was rated as "87" and premium was about "92" iirc. Just wondering if this is the same octane rating (RON) as we have in the UK or if it is different for some reason?If it is the same, are cars mapped differently in different countries?

lupodave Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 In this country (and Europe) we have 95RON as standard, you can get 97, 99 and even 100+. Cars are mapped differently for USA and Europe yeah.The lower rating still doesn't explain why we pay about 3x more for petrol here though!! Just shows you how much tax the gov't puts on it, thieving ****s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 IIRC, RON is a European standard, and is not a standard adopted by the USA. The USA petrol ratings aren't the same as UK RON numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
