definitely 98 or at the least 95. You will actually find the car costs you less to run if you stick with the higher octane fuel

98 only if its not ethanol crap 95 is what to use check petrol stations on some its only 10 cent or less from 91 to 95 . other gungsters have 15 to 25 cent more on 95 octane you can use 91 if you burn it all in one go on long trips the problem comes when you start stop pinking of low octane fuel the engine will detect knock and retard the timing to counteract the knocking = loads less power and each knock is potentially damaging to bearings, plus the carbon buildup from retarded ignition to try and burn 91 octane on systems not designed to run on that.

You will be fine to change over to 98 or 95, won't cause any issues. With one exception. in my opinion you should NEVER ever use biofuel mix's in that car, such as what is sold by Gull. So stick to BP, Z or Caltex using the highest octane available. Happy motoring.
