Octane ratings

The CLC orAKI octane ratingisusually lowerthan
the RON rating:
For example: 95RON equals 90CLC orAKI
Unleaded
fuelsmaynotbeavailable outsidethe
continental U.S.andCanada. Therefore, werec-
ommend youdonot take your cartoareas or
countries whereunleaded fuelmay notbeavail-
able.
Octane ratingindicates afuel's ability toresist det-
onation. Therefore, buyingthecorrect octanegas
is important toprevent engine"damage".
The RON octane ratingisbased onthe research
method. TheCLC (U.S. CostofLiving Council oc-
tane rating) orAKI (antiknock index)octane rating
usually displayed onU.S. fuelpumps iscalculated
as research octanenumber plusmotor octane
number, dividedby2,that iswritten as:
