Yes. I only use the best for my fleet of cars. Fwiw, I can definitely feel a difference in power between 91 and 94 with my buttdyno. Again, you can use 91. But is it optimal? Not really.

I recall a dyno sheet showing both fuels tested. The 91 oct only put down some 140whp where the 93 put down around 160whp.
