I fully agree with you point of view.
BTW if you look in the instruction book, the use of 91 or higher is
recommended, but anyone who has enough fuel left to look for 95 or even
98 in the uncivilized world, go ahead!
Personally I always go for the best (and sometimes you have to use 91 or
less, or push your bike).
