Yes RON sounds about right ..
91 is the lowest grade here
Its all No Lead now ...(yes was problems with older cars when they took lead out)
I think in Japan all Fairladys run on 100 as that's what they mostly sell so Im lead to believe ..
Has been court cases here where people buy a Jap import car like a Z then run it on 91 and wonder why the engine fails ,, They take car yard to court because they didn't tell them 98 only . .and person who brought the car loses most times but sometimes they get a refund on car or new engine
must add my Honda powered water blaster will not run on 91.. just stalls, tip it out use 98 and its fine ..
