Octane RON of your gas?

The manual states we should feed the car 98 RON but sometimes it's impossible to find a station carrying that kind of fuel so what do you put in your car?

The best I could find here is 96.

Any way to edit this post to make it into a poll?

The octane numbers at the pump are determined by the formula (RON+MON)/2, so 98 RON is probably 93 or 94 octane premium unleaded, and is just fine for the Evo.

Problem for this guy is that they go by RON in PI as well, and all he can find is 96 RON fuel. Your best bet is to look into adding xyleen or toluleen to your pump fuel in this situation. There are all kinds of threads on the subject of "home made race gas".
