Isn't 95 the bog standard stuff? I didn't even know they sold 91 RON!
Oh wow dunno where you are but you lot must be spoiled haha... and I already consider ourselves spoiled compared to the States, apparently bog standard there is like 87??
But yeah, Australia and NZ has E10 (didn't quite see this in NZ), 91, 95, 98 (and diesel).
That's not quite accurate. Octane ratings in most parts of the world are RON, which tends to be 8-12 points higher than the more difficult MON rating. In North America, the average of the two is used resulting in a lower rating for the same fuel.
