Default Gas question

my hummer H2 is from the states specifications
it says in the manual that 87 octane gas is good enough for the engine

problem is that in the UAE the only grades of gas is , 91, 95 and 98
i think they might have a different system of labelling the octane

i am currently using 95 , but im wondering if the car will be happier with the other grades

More than likely in the UAE there using European Octane ratings and not US so it is in RON, so the 91 is equal too 87 US Octane. Just as the posted calculator is showing, good tool.
