Ok, so 93PON = 98RON here in europe.

BUT: here in europe/germany - every fuel from 95RON ("Super" in Germany) to 98RON/93PON ("Super Plus" in Germany) gas contains at least 5% and optional 10% ethanol!! No exceptions! Only those high performer 100+RON octane gases like "Aral ultimate 102" and "Shell v-power" are free of ethanol! These are superior blends and will be produced in only a few separated refineries. This is a common misunderstanding here. I guess there could be similar confusion in the US.

Don't get me wrong - but are you really really sure, that your favourite gas station sell the 93PON gas as a E0/0% ethanol gas???

Here's a list of US/CAN ethanol free gas stations:

Fun fact: Aral and Shell are forced by law to denote on their pumps that those special sorts (100+RON) of fuel *could* still contain up to 5% ethanol, even they do not contain ethanol at all. They write these facts on their websites. (https://www.aral.de/de/global/retail/kraftstoffe-und-preise/unsere-kraftstoffe/faq/faq-aral-ultimate.html#accordion_ultimate-4)
