North America measures octane differently than the rest of the world so it's numbers do look lower. That said, I'm pretty sure american 87octane is slightly lower than the average regular in Europe. Probably why (or because) european cars have high compression rates, and american cars run a pathetic inefficient 8.5 or 9:1.
