Please do that, but I am pretty sure it should be RON. I only use Shell V Power 97 here for the 1M, locals believe that is the best and cleanest in the market and I have nothing against that. My bet is 97 in Chile is somewhere between US 91 and 93. There is no higher octane here; Petrobras has (or had) a 98+ totally ethanol free gas in Brazil called "podium" in select stations but unfortunately they don't sell it here in Chile.
