I dont remember the conversion for Ron and the FCC Octane rating, but i think Octane # = (Ron +Mon)/2.
but anyway, run 87 Octane or equivalent fuel rating. i run 89 octane only cuz the price difference during a full tank fill up between 87 and 89 octane is only $1 (USD)
err........ i dunno about the u.s but the lowest octane we can get here is 95! Super unleaded is 97-98!Quote:

Some guys use different grades depending on the modifications done to their engine and some (like me, I run 89) run different grade because of the small price difference
97 is usally used in our car. then again regular is about 95 pence (uk money) wich is alot compared to you.
