I think octanes are measured differently in our different countries, as well as others.
I read an extensive article on gasolines in a tuner mag... I forget which one right now, but there are a lot of variables in the way an octane is determined.
And octane boosters don't really work like they claim they do.

In my area, cheap is 87 octane, 94 octane is the highest and you can get that about 80% of the pumps (some only go to 93).
