Mix the 100 octane with 91 or 93.

ive used it here in europe with no problems, but no significant benefits over 98
Octane ratings in USA and Europe are different our 93 octane is like your 98. So this would be like 105+

To get more performance from anything above RON100 you would have to get a bespoke engine map written for you
