You can get a close approximation on RON vs AKI tho'; typically .95*RON = approximately equivalent AKI. Example: The Z recommended octane is 91 AKI and 96 RON 96 RON*.95 = 91.2, very close to the AKI value.

If the RON is 100 in Japan, 95~ AKI My money would be something like 94 on America's AKI system because that's probably the highest you CAN find at a normal pump in the US (I think I've seen 94 at the pump in Ohio, or Illinois, or Michigan)

All this had to do with octane wars years ago (1970's ??). This ended once they settled on the RON+MON/2 = AKI formula.
