How they measure is different from how U.S. measures.
U.S. 87 is similar to JP 91
U.S. 89 is similar to JP 95
U.S. 91-93 is similar to JP 98-100

So, if you look at their numbers and our numbers, it looks like their gas have higher octanes, but they really aren't.

As I understand it we use RON and you use AKI and these are the equivalents.

AKI 87 = RON 91
AKI 91 = RON 95
AKI 93 = RON 98

I've only ever seen E5, might have ben E10? once and that was in Tasmania and i'm sure it was 91octane[RON]

I've never heard crickets mentioned in Japan and I don't think they use ethanol much there either.
But the real question is how much ethanol percentage?
