95 octane (Europe - RON) should be fine. That's roughly equivalent to US 90-91 octane ((RON+MON)/2), which is what the manual recommends, I believe. These engines are too high compression for the regular fuel (87 octane by US standards, 92 octane in Europe IIRC), but certainly shouldn't be high enough compression to demand the top grade 98 octane (US 92 or 93 octane).
I run 92 anyway just because it's only like 8ยข more expensive per gallon than 90, and when you're spending $10 on a fillup, the difference between $10.00 and $10.25 isn't enough to care about. But of course it's really wasted money to buy an octane higher than the vehicle needs.
