We definitely notice the difference driving around town when using 98 octane instead of 91. Acceleration is more zippy etc. and economy is better. You may find that the tuning of your Eco Sport is set for the higher octane so some setting may need to changer if you used 91.
Having said that, we just did 5,000Km to Qld and back to SA. On using tanks of 91, 95 and 98 there was no difference in fuel consumption so apart from the purported engine protection etc. there is no benefit on long runs (for us anyway)
