| Hey guys, Do u guys know what our gas station measure our Octane rating by? I think there is 2 methods, Motor and Research. There is also an average of the 2. Its denoted by (R+M)/2. I want to know which is used in the Toronto region. Cheers |

| The pums only mention the octane, not if it's RON or MON or (R+M)/2 (which is probably what it is). My manual says to use 91 or higher for RON but the following paragraph for Canada says to use 87 (R+M)/2. I use plain old regular which is almost 89 everywhere.
