having just taken delivery of my EAT chip-very impressed so far- im confused about the different octane rating systems, here in Aust we have 92 ron = unleaded 95 ron = premium unleaded and 98ron = super premium unleaded but i notice these numbers are different in US what are your comparison numbers or is their some easy formula to translate

There is a formula, but I honesly don't know it off the top of my head.

Approximate values off the top of my head:
AUS --- USA
92 -------85-87
95--------87-89
98--------91-93

Basically, just use the highest octane fuel.
