Deetz is correct. If the engine has high compression, forced induction, or is otherwise tuned to run higher octane, then it should be used. Otherwise, a low octane fuel is fine. Higher octane is primarily used to stabilize a fuel as it burns. This is necessary to prevent detonation.
And some people seem to think it is. Those people are wrong.
The US uses the AKI (Anti-Knock Index) for octane ratings. Most other countries use the RON (Research Octane Number). The conversion would be RON x .95 = AKI.
So, 95 x .95 = (gasp) 90.025.
The JDM F22A has the same compression as the USDM F22Ax
You see, it's much better to share actual knowledge than it is to spread misinformation by pretending you know what you're talking about.
Especially since I'm quite sure I'm going to have to correct at least 5 noobs in the future that read your post and assumed it was accurate.
