98 Octane Gas??
I work on an Army base in Korea and the on-post gas station claims to sell 98 Octane gas (R+M/2). I know there is a lot of debate regarding 98 RON overseas, etc. Can anyone validate this?
If it is true to be 98 octane, does this really make a difference? I do not have any performance mods on my car. |

I'm stationed in Korea as well. I was told AAFES gas is sourced from the US and delivered by Korean companies under contract. If what you're saying is true, then I'm pissed. That means I have to drive from Casey to Yongsan to get gas since we only have "92" octane here.

Just filled at the Yongsan Gas Station. I asked the attendant about the gas and it is indeed Korean gas. I am curious about how they calculate octane here in Korea. I was a dependent here back in the early 2000s and Korea did not have octane labeled gas; only in the past three years I believe did they offer "premium" gas off post.

98 octane is the best available in Asia and Europe next is 95 Octane and at the bottom are 91 Octane and 91 octane with 10% ethanol. BMW recommends 91 octane with 10% ethanol and up. You are just fine.
I did notice when I use 98 octane petrol last longer (more mileage) than fuel with ethanol or lower octane. |
