I believe the octane ratings are different through-out different countries. For example a 91 octane here in Canada is equal to a 95 octane rating in Australia and yet different in the UK.

Few points of interest from webopedia..........

Octane ratings can vary greatly from region to region. For example, the minimum octane rating available in much of the United States is 87 AKI and the highest is 93. However this does not mean that the gas is different.

In the UK, ''regular'' petrol has an octane rating of 95 RON, with 97 RON fuel being widely available. Tesco and Shell both offer 99 RON fuel. Even though compare to US and Canada, they are the same rating......

Generally, octane ratings are higher in Europe than they are in North America and most other parts of the world.
