Octane is measured differently in a lot of countries outside the US. That 98 octane would likely be lower by our measurements.

You have problem with 5.25?

its funny finding this with the gas prices rising, I've run 87 for many years now and while basically stock haven't noticed anything detrimental. but I cannot justify spending on 93 when my drive to/from work is basically 2 stops and otherwise I'm cruising at about 70, why coast with expensive gas. if iwere going to the track i'd probably care more.
