Vehicle with catalytic converter or oxygen sensor must be use ONLY UNLEADED FUEL, which will be reduce exhaust emission and keep spark plug pulling and minimum.
Mazda is designed to use 98 octane (RON) or higher petrol for best performance. If 98 octane (RON) is not available, 95 octane (RON) petrol can be used. Use of 95 octane (RON) petrol can decrease performance. Petrol lower than 95 octane (RON) could cause the emission control system lo lose effectiveness. It could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.
Countries that can use 95 octane above...

Where did you get this information?

Keep in mind those that read this is that what's given is the RON octane rating... not the (RON+MON)/2 that US pumps use. (i.e. 90 octane on a US pump is not the same as the 90 octane given above).
Typical US 87 octane has a RON octane rating of 91-92, a MON rating of 82-83... thus (R+M)/2 = (91+82)/2 = (173)/2 = 86.5, or (92+83)/2 = (175)/2 = 87.5, average them out: (86.5+87.5)/2 = (174)/2 = 87 octane

simply put... two different octane numbers can mean the same fuel. just depends on which method of identifying it is used.
90 in europe is the same as 87 in the US.
