Hi,

As a europeean who stayed in the states for a while, I had to resolve the octane issue... This is the deal:

In US MON are usually stated (Motor Octane Number), and in Europe RON (Research Octane Number), roughly one can say that 87 MON is equal to 95 RON both beeing the standard unleaded fuel in respective part of the world. Here in Sweden we also have 96 and 98 RON usually 98 is used in high-power turbo-charged cars (actually Shell has an expensive V-power 100 octane gas for sale too nowadays). I have alwas run the Johnson outboards using 95, but you may want to check the manual for the motor. Here is a rough conversion-list: (You cannot directly translate RON vs MON with a formula, but this is how it normally translates)

92 RON = 85 MON
95 RON = 87 MON [Regular]
98 RON = 90 MON [Super]
102+ RON = 93+ MON [Super +]
