all fuel here in NZ is now 'unleaded' with the super leaded fuel being phased out in the mid 90s. 96 octane has also been replaced by 95 octane 5+ years ago. What rock have you been living under!
I would run it on 95 at a minimum, preferably 98 octane as the Altezza was initially designed to run on 100 octane which is readily available in Japan.

I hope that all your previous cars have been basic vehicles which are meant to run on 91.

use 95, should be fine on that. 98 is a bit over the top for an altezza.

Well, we don't know what engine she has in her Altezza, 95 would be alright for the 6cyl but the Beams 4cyl would run best on 98 considering it squeezes out over 100hp per litre.

thank you very much, the only reason i didnt know is because ive driven the same car for the last 10 years and before that was all unleaded run carstoo, and have never needed to know or think about the other petrol, just wanted to be sure

The 3SGE 4 cylinder won't run oth cost around the same on 91. 98 and 95worked down to cents per km. 1GFE 6 cylinder will run on 91. I can't comment on economy for the 1GFE, as mine is a 3SGE

Run it on 95, preferable 98. I have always run all my cars on 98. Sure it does cost more but you do get more power and it also works out to be economical in the long run.

Well my 2JZ (3.0ltr 6 cyl) runs nicely on either. If I am open road traveling though I prefer to use 95+, but as its normally used for school runs and a shopping trolley 91 suffices.
