I'm currently running 91 octane, so I'm guessing it will be much better for the engine if I run near empty and switch over to 94? 1400km on it currently another 600 until first oil change yay!

Sorry, I thought you were referring to regular vs 91 or 94 octane. My mistake.

So would you still say I should switch to 94? My car is still basically brand new so if it will be of benefit, Ill make the change.

No, I don't think you'll notice any difference. I was saying that you'd notice a difference (pinging) with 87 octane (regular). No too great for those aluminum pistons.

But between 91 and 94...(?)
