Buy octane booster.

The manual actually says 95 and higher, so I'll stick with that

But what does it say about altitude. Manuals are written for low altitude ie sea level.

In my experience,if you're driving a lower powered car for example a sedan under 100kw and you drive faster than an average old man then 95 octane should give you better power(and engine responsiveness) and fuel economy.

However I found that with higher powered cars 140kw and over in a sedan for example,95 actually just burns quicker,so not recommended unless you intend going racing on a track and you need the extra power/responsiveness.

If you are an old man or drive like one(I don't mean purely high speed,I'm talking about acceleration more specifically) then just always fill up 93.Don't even bother with 95 in this scenario.

Sorry there are too many things wrong with this statement.

High altitude N/A = 93
High altitude T = 95

Costal = 95

Just follow this advise together with the Car manual.

I always use 95. N/A performance car.

You might get engine knocking at lower octane levels so why take the chance to save a few rands.

Buy octane booster.

for each tank of petrol? ridiculous. Id rather suffer with decreased performance
