Petrol & HOBC

Salam to all members!

I want to ask a question here regarding Petrol (super) and High Octane Blending Content (HOBC). What I want to know is which vehicles require HOBC, which can run on 50/50 and which can be safely run on only petrol.
Also, what is the criteria for the (necessary) use of HOBC?

A final question: What level of octane are Petrol and HOBC (87,89,etc...) ?

Thanks & Eid Mubarak to all of you and your families!

I stand to be corrected, but imho HOBC is 92~93 octane whereas SUPER is 87 octane...though these are the official claimed figures, we should expect them to be lesser.

Usually high compression engines require HOBC, but i can say from experience my ex USDM accord (2.4L) ran fine on 87 octane fuel.. Another friend of mine mixes HOBC/SUPER in his C200 KOMP and doesn't have any issues either..
