Why are octane levels of US gas so much lower than the rest of the world (e.g. Asia where octane levels are ~97/98/99)?
So, is it safe to say that the demand for higher-octane gasoline is higher in Asia than in the US?
That does seem to be a general trend, yes. However, it's worth noting that there are also variations within each region based on factors such as fuel prices, vehicle fuel efficiency standards, and consumer habits.
