RON and Octane?

I'm about to send my ECU for a flash..

Our petrol station here have two kinds of fuel, says: '95 Octane' and '98 Octane'.. I always use the 98 but would have like to know whether there is a difference between an Octane unit and a RON unit..

What should i tell my ecu 'flasher'!

Thanks,

Wael

does it say on the pump whether it is "Research" or "Motor" Octane Number? It does make a difference. In the US our rating is the average of the two: (RON+MON)/2

I think the US is the only place that uses (R+M)/2. I beleive the rest of the world uses RON.

98 RON is aprox the same as 94 in the US
97 RON is aprox the same as 93 in the US
95 RON is aprox the same as 91 in the US
