He is probably talking about 91 AKI rating, you must be talking about RON rating. Two different ways of calculating octane - AKI being the North American way & RON being the RoW/European way.

The following page is very interesting - the section I am linking to directly compares fuel ratings across countries - Petro-Canada's Ultra 94 is quite surprising compared to others: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_...octane_ratings
