The octane rating is NOT related to the amount of cleaning agents in the gas. Chevron regular grade (say 87) has techron in it while the Costco premium does not.

I would guess the diff octane reqs listed are in response to diff regulations around gas that pop up in diff countries or in the case of the US, diff states.
