Haha, we have hefty import taxes and custom duties here which makes the car expensive.

The U.S. owners manual says minimum 89 AKI which is like 93-94 RON. 89 RON is about 84-85 AKI which we can't even get in the U.S. Well, not in California anyway.

Well, 93 RON is also easily available here but I just wanted to know what will happen in the worst case. Considering that I regularly fill 93 RON, how much drop in performance do you think I'll notice in the stock 0-100 figure of 6.1 secs ?

Well if you compare the On-highway diesel prices in some states it is more than gasoline, for e.g. take Cali. The diesel is slightly expensive. Also, the 'scene' I was referring to was the availability of diesel in the US which is not as good as gasoline there.
