Indonesian translation:bensin premium
Explanation:
Kalau di Amerika, jenis bensin berdasarkan kadar oktananya terdiri dari: premium, midgrade, premium. Di Indonesia terdapat bensin premium (88), pertamax (92), dan pertamax plus (95). Jadi, kalau mau disejajarkan, maka "regular gasoline" bisa disebut sebagai bensin premium.

In most of the U.S., regular gas has an octane rating of 87, midgrade gas is 89, and premium is 91 or 92.

bensin regular


Explanation:
Penentuan kadar oktana antar negara bisa berbeda-beda. Misalnya di Amerika yang digunakan adalah AKI (Anti Knocking Index), Indonesia menggunakan RON (Research Octane Number). Angka AKI = Angka RON - 4 (atau 5). Jadi bensin regular dengan AKI 87 akan setara dengan bensin Indonesia ber-RON 91 (atau 92). Menurut saya terjemahannya sebaiknya berpegang pada kondisi di negara asal bahan terjemahan, karena yang dibahas spesifik untuk tempat tersebut.
