Not really. The measurement system is different and results in different octane numbers for essentially the same fuel.

I've compared numbers on a few Hondas before. When the same size engine is involved, gas mileage comes out about the same (give or take the different measurement systems) and power comes out identical.

And that's just the sound of your hips getting your fat old arse out of your chair.
No problem, you are old and you have a hood in your eyes, even a laser sight couldn't help your cause.
Kick to the bollocks or a punch in the fat gut...... done......next..........

Only good for pump action guns, as I said you are old infirm and have a hood in your eyes. Another couple of pints of Stella and I might have to beat you to death with your own gun.
