Hi.
I know the recommended fuel for 525efi is 87 octane, but here in Norway the lowest we have is 95 octane E10 and only 98 octane without ethanol. I belive 95 here is 91 US and 98 is 93 US
Is it necessary to tune the engine for the higher octane? Just to make it burn better and maybe reduce the gasoline smell from the exhaust ..

Yes my plan was to send them the ecu for the wipple tune. I think I read somewhere that running higher octane then 87 on this engine could actually hurt performance. Is this true?
