No, the fuel is the same. It is the measurement that is different. 98 RON = 92 AKI in North America.

AzN had it right, the spec is different for hp measurement in Europe and North America. The tune is the same, they make the same actual power. Think of the Euro horses as smaller than the North American ones.
