Over here the highest octane rating available is 99ron from tesco.
Octane ratings are done in some kind of contraption in a lab as I understand it. So fuels can perform differently in the real world, even in same country the performance of a say 98RON fuel can vary as far a knock resistance goes.

Best to just log for knock and see which brand of fuel is best.
