Wait, Benko opening is a line that comes from 1 d4, not 1 g3. g3 is the Hungarian according to Chess.com.
Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Benko gambit? The Benko gambit comes from 1. d4.
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benko's_Opening, Benko's Opening is 1. g3 and it's also known as the Hungarian Opening.
I wasn't sure either (I had to look it up!), thanks for pointing out that ambiguity.
