I always try to use 98 octane fuel - but I have not noticed any difference between the various brands.
I can confirm that there is a difference in using 98 vs 95 octane fuel.
Thankfully for us, the SVX uses direct-fire ignition and twin knock sensors, so that it is able to take advantage of higher-octane fuels by constantly altering the ignition timing.
I have also tried 100 octane fuel (Shell Optimax Extreme), but I could not detect any difference over 98 octane fuel.
