So by that reasoning, using a US map in a UK bike (with our E10 & Premium grades) doesn't give 100% performance due to slightly different ignition advance maps. Therefore, safer than the other way round.The US has a wide range of altitudes. Look at the map informations in Tuneecu. All of the Rocket tunes say “up to E25”, but the minimum RON and RON/MON is higher for All Markets than the US market.
The Tables, including fuel and ignition, are the same in the UK and US maps. Both specify UP TO E25. I’ve noticed differences in the fueling in maps with different E values with more fuel in the higher E to make up for the missing octane.So by that reasoning, using a US map in a UK bike (with our E10 & Premium grades) doesn't give 100% performance due to slightly different ignition advance maps.

...98..95...91 here in NZNow that makes more sense. I should have known better and figured that out for myself. Our premium fuel has 98octane and no e10 in it here in Australia. Some 94octane here has e10 and some 91 as well.![]()
If the basic, demonstrably superior metric system can't make its way everywhere (think m vs km, hp vs kw, lbf vs nm etc etc), what chance does fuel testing have? Tyres had to be half pregnant (diameter in inches, width in mm), but I guess "I'm rocking 50.8cm wheels on my Civic" doesn't sound right...Why can’t we get the same fuel all over the world. Why do countries have to have different fuels.
There are 2 types of countries on this planet. Countries that use the metric system, and countries that have put a man on the moon.If the basic, demonstrably superior metric system can't make its way everywhere (think m vs km, hp vs kw, lbf vs nm etc etc), what chance does fuel testing have?
