Default Fuel differences USA and Europe

Originally my 951 is from USA, if previously it was driven with what? 93 fuel in USA? What fuel I should drive it in europe? 95? 98? Is there any differences in engines for USA and Europe?

Anybody knows that?
So far I've been driving 95 and everything is ok, but a lot of porsches over here is using 98.

You should run 98 octane.
In the USA they measure knock resistance differently than in Europe. US = RON + MON /2. Europe = RON.
93 in the US more or less equals 98 over here.

Depends on where the car was from over here. 93 is avaliable in most states but some, like CA only offer up to 91. Just FYI.
