87 octane to 93 octane, any difference Options

[rocky2006]

is there any difference in power/gas mileage/how well the engine runs? if so, how much of a difference in each?

How can it be dangerous, We drive on 95, 97 and 98 octane.

Or maybe i am mistaking some stuff

In the USA they use a different way of rating octane than in Japan, NZ, Netherlands etc.

There are 3 main ways of testing the octane rating: RON, MON and PON.

We use RON (Research Octane Number), whereas in the US PON (Pump Octane Number) is used - which is an average of RON and another way of rating octane called MON (Motor Octane Number)

So when someone in the US says they're using 92 it's the same as our 96:

RON 92 95 96 98
MON 85 87 88 90
PON 88.5 91 92 94

Hope this helps
