Here in Canada The highest octane you will find is 94 that is at a Sunoco. Next highest you will find is at any other gas bar at 92 octane, last in line would be filling up at a Canadian Tire Gas Bar; the highest they serve is a 91 octane.

I would have to add the fact that we, as Americans,
only get ~91 octane fuel out of the pump. Therefore
the engines that we get over here are significantly
detuned to deal with a lower grade fuel. In
California, we used to be able to get 92 as supreme.
Now it's all 91, along with Colorado, which is where I
spent the last five years. So I would have to say we
definitely get 'detuned' motors over here.

Octane Levels
If I recall correctly, octane is measured differently
in Japan than the U.S. One is RON and the other one I
forget.

One is RON and the other is Octane. They are two
