| There's not an exact conversion from RON octane to the U.S R+M/2, since you 
need to know the MON octane to get the average.  It looks like there are 
comparable gasoline grades available at the pump in the U.S. and UK:
US                UK  (BS EN 228)  RON  MON   (RON+MON)/2 
unleaded 87      unleaded reg.   91  82.5   86.75  
midgrade 89      Premium           95  85     90  
premium 91 to 94  Super Plus        98  88     93 
For reference, 4-star is 97RON, 86MON (91.5 R+M/2)
