Just bought a NA 1994 mk2 MR2 GT.
What octane of petrol should I be running?
Tesco offer a 99 octane for almost the same price as basic standard petrol, but not sure if the car would run better on a lower octane?
Should I be running premium petrol?

Re: Should I be running premium petrol?
95 octane is OK, but I think it wise to stay with E5 not E10. I think this is Toyota advice?

IIRC Mr T says anything before 2000 should stick with E5
