Agree no issue using it without a tune, especially in a H6.
But we're living in such a tune aware society these days..
If you're not tuning you're not living..

bj,
The economy gains by running 98 more or less cancels out the premium you pay for it over 91, but looking beyond just the financial argument, you're possibly doing more harm to your engine by running a less octane-rich fuel which the car was not designed to run...

A different motor, but i know theres been countless Sea-Doo (jetski) Rotax supercharged engines that have failed due to running on 91 instead of 98.

The photo below was taken in the Harbour Tunnel of my average consumption after 26km of driving down the Pacific Hwy.
I usually average 9.2l/100km with a combination of city/highway (70%/30%) driving which I'm pretty happy with but would have loved it to stay at 6.0l/100km
