Now this RON number business:
There's RON, MON and AKI (Research Octane Number, Motor Octane Number and Anti Knock Index)

Europe, Australia use RON
US, Canada, Brazil use AKI which is the average of RON and MON.

The Shell V Power in Kenya should be RON 98 (there's more than one variant). Translates to AKI of 93-94

It's important to know which index/number one is referred to when talking about octane rating, otherwise one can mix 'em up.

I would think regular is RON 91-92 and super/premium is RON 95

We import a large chunk of our petrol refined so unless there's 'mischief' enroute... the numbers should be reasonably accurate

And as mentioned it's all unleaded.

@Tuvok,
AKI is average of Research Octane Number and Motor Octane Number...(R+M/2).....Sometimes,AKI is reffered to as PON (Pump Octane Number)
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Correct on the V-Power - just seen one of those V Power ads.. Looks like we are not quite there with premium fuel.

I don't know "how", but according to this document from ERC, http://www.erc.go.ke/erc...%20Prices%2015-3-12.pdf , the max price of SUPER PETROL in Nairobi, for example is Sh111.69 while that of REGULAR is Sh115.40

The same trend is repeated in all other towns.... and also in previous price regulations.
