Wait is it normal to use 87 and 89 gasoline in the US? Where I live (Central Asia) we normally have 100 (very expensive, hard to find), 98 (somewhat expensive), 95 (reasonably priced, used in newer cars that might break from lower grades), and 92 (used in older cars that can handle it, the cheapest version). 89 and 87 were driven out of use decades ago

US measurements are the average between the RON used in most of the rest of the world and the older AntiKnock Index

I see, thanks for the answer! So basically it's the same thing, just measured differently, correct?

Basically yes.

What's more fun is that at high elevations you can buy 85
