doesn't the manual state "minimum of 95 octane recommended", i.e. higher up is better but the minimum should be 95?
I've just beein in US for 3 weeks and just did some research based on this thread. seems 96 europe octane is about the same as 91/92 US octane level. in Switzerland almost everywhere, in Italy not always, you also get 98 octane. Shell even sells 100 octane, but for a very high premium price. I usually put 98 octane in all my cars, when travelling to italy I try to find 98 octane fuel stations
