We only have a max of 98 RON over here in the UK with Optimax. Why does Japan have 100 RON fuel, when nowhere else in the world has it???? Considering their traffic status, and mini cars, with 600cc engines etc, why do they have such a relatively high performance road fuel compared to the rest of the world??

Politics, I think .
Higher octane doesn't pollute more, but people think it does. It does need more refining, though, which effectively makes more pollution at that point.
FYI, Belgium - in some places I know of - sell '99+' - presumanly there's some EU ruling somewhere (that the Belgians are actually paying attention to for a change ) that states 100RON in a no-no.

The kart racing control fuel I used to used, made by Elf, was supposed to be 100ron. However, because noone in europe commonly uses 100ron, it was more expensive the 102ron, which is used for racing everywhere.
Not exactly pump fuel, and at over £2 per litre, not exactly cheap
