You shouldn't have any problems. We use 95 exclusively here at the coast. The rotax engine can even run on Avgas which is 103 octane if I recall correctly

Morph is right – you can make a “running change” anytime you want. A 50/50 mix of 93/95 or any part thereof will make no dif.

“Bottom line” – don’t go below 92 octane – now that’s not possible !! :!:
