Alcohol and gasoline-alcohol blends also offer efficiency benefits independent of their octane value. Most regular-grade gasoline in the US is sold with a minimum octane rating of 87 AKI, corresponding to approximately 91−92 RON. Premium-grade gasoline is listed as 91−93 AKI minimum, corresponding to 96−98 RON.
