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.

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