Eeg...
Gasoline over here is rated at the pump
with a pump octane number (PON) instead of research octane number (RON).
Basically, adding 3 numbers to PON will
give you a "rough" RON #, according to my mechanic.
If any one knows more about this or has
other information which can shed further
light upon the subject, please chime in! :)
So, our "regular" over here is 87PON
Our "mid" is 89PON
Our "hi" is either 91,92, or 93PON depending on brand. Generally I guess
it's 92.
I use Cities Service - their "hi-test" is
93PON or approx. 96RON according
to my mech.
Some Sunoco gas stations also pump
94PON which would about equal your
98RON...this would be sold at approx.
US$0.50 more per US gallon than their
"normal" 93PON "hi-test".
Fewer Sunoco stations pump unleaded
CAM2 104PON racing gas but I've seen it
in New Milford, CT., home of US Judson
guru George Folchi, @ US$5.00+ per
US gallon or thereabouts.
