Minimum recommended Ron is based on the lowest grade that will not cause "knocking" in the engine. If you see manuals, they recommend higher grades for Middle east use because the climate is much hotter (hotter intake temps). So, the minimum recommended Ron is very much dependent on region the car is operated in as well.
Had a few friends from Arizona, U.S. They all say there must use higher grade or engine will knock.

So does that mean BMW 7 series in Singapore can safely pump 95RON even though the owner manual states minimum 98RON? :smile:

Not advisable. BMW has determined that Ron 98 in Singapore is necesary to prevent engine knocking.
My previous post is to say that same engine in different regions have different minimum Ron requirements so cannot compare with U.S. Additionally, U.S. way of calculating Ron also different.
