what does the sticker look like factory? you would have to try it out if on a full tank of 91 if it is knocking in any way shape or noticable less powerfull on hills then its not made to run 91 octane . whom knows maybe vw made some vans for 3th world countrys whom can run 91 i know some 1990s rover can be programmed to operate on 91 via the rover mems scantool. look under the steering colum or in glove box if the original manual is still in the van about fuel to use.

I'd be amazed if it wasn't fine on 91 - it's a low compression, low performance engine

minimum means not lower then 91 the usa have some 80 octane crap ron is the 3 letters for octane 91 ron minimum means minimum not maximum . logically
The most typically used engine management systems found in automobiles today have a knock sensor that monitors if knock is being produced by the fuel being used. In modern computer controlled engines, the ignition timing will be automatically altered by the engine management system to reduce the knock to an acceptable level. i have a video showing how the 95 corolla retards the timing on 91 octane fuel.

I'm sure Australia, Japan and USA would like to be referred to as third world lol. They all use a 91 grade unleaded, the Yanks calculate the octane rating differently by averaging the MON and RON units, their 87 is the same as 91 in other places.
