The calculation of the octane rating is different between Europe and the US. You can't compare straight numbers; that'd be like apples and oranges...

To quote cdelena in another thread:

"Europe uses the RON measurement where in the US it is AKI which is (RON + MON / 2), and it will always be a lower number as the MON test drags down the average."
