What petrol do you use ?

Fuel Survey.....
Guys - what grade of petrol do you use ???
I'm out in the sticks here in NZ, and my local garage has just stopped selling 98, and now sell 95 as their 'Super' and 91 (standard), all unleaded. The BP ultimate here is 98, but has 10% ethanol in it. So I'm wondering what Wedgers use, and their experiences. (ethanol + unleaded burns differently, faster I think, than 4 star)
Does you engine even notice ? Pink/Detonate? Run rough ? Did you retard the timing ? That kind of thing...
I guess we need separate categories for 2.8, 3.5, (std) 3.9/4.0/4.5 (TVR), Turbos/Supercharged/Specials ??
I reckon this will be useful for all wedgers to consult - please add your views.
Mine (1982 DHC - 2.8, std) - will probably redo now, but for the 98 Octane, timing retarded to about 10 degrees instead of 12, and disconnected vac adv. Pinks about 2200rpm ish with vac adv connected.
