Just run your lower octane fuel. It will be about the same as 89 octane US and will be fine without doing any additional tuning.
Enjoy!!!

2000, MEFI3 502 here, When I ran with 92-93 the transom full of soot after the weekend. Filled with 87 and transom stays clean. Been running 87 ever since.

I agree. I run 87 in mine too. Never ran anything else and no reason to.
He is kind of stuck and will just have to run the lowest octane he can get.
