Am I just lucky?  I have had no problem with pinging using the MTM 1+ chips 
while running mostly 93 octane fuel in my '95 urS6.  It did get a rare fill 
up with 94 but that was rare.

BTW, the RON and MON numbers are simply rating numbers 93 (RON + MOM)/2 is 
the very same fuel as 95 RON.  RON rating and MON ratings on the very same 
fuel are always different numbers with the RON rating always a higher 
numeric value than the MON rating number.  This means that the RON number 
for any specific fuel will always be a higher number than the (R+M)/2 
rating FOR THE SAME FUEL.  95 RON and 93 (RON + MON)/2 are equivalent.
