Porsche spec-ed 93 octane here in North American using the measuring method here. that that works out to be around 95? Using the European rating?
I think 96 but I'm not so sure. I learned something about 3 points difference between the US and European octane rating but still not sure about it.
AKI (US) to RON (EU) conversions can't be done as a straight conversion, like °F to °C because you really need to know MON to calculate AKI as the average of the 2 values -- (RON+MON)/2.
But, you can get rough values as
-
AKI = RON * .955
-
RON = AKI * 1.048
So, for example, 100 RON ~ 95.5 AKI and 93 AKI ~ 97.5 RON
