We got a big thread about this in ZY. AAFES/base gas went from 93 octane down to 86 and we had no choice. Everybody's car was pinging on the piss water they're giving us and they were making more money since everybody's getting shittier gas mileage.

But to answer your question, Japan uses RON rating while the US uses AKI. So we have 86 AKI on base, while the off-base premium 100 RON equates to about 95 AKI. With the exchange rate and liter to gallon conversion, 1 gal of off-base premium is about $7 or so depending on where you get it.
