98 ron to octane australia

Australia labels petrol by RON, so 98 RON is the premium nectar. If you’re comparing to the North American pump number (AKI), 98 RON is roughly 93–94 AKI. That’s because AKI is the average of RON and MON, and MON is typically about 10 points lower than RON for standard petrol. So if your manual in Australia says 95 RON minimum, that’s about 90–91 AKI in US-speak. Use 98 RON only if the engine asks for it—or if you fancy donating to oil companies for marginal gains in an economy hatch. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
