And we all know what that spells, backwards.
Although I was expecting someone to say your problem was putting petrol in a gas engine. LOL.
Agreed, your engine will not suffer, although it may take a while for the ECU to adapt, and you may miss some of the additives in the higher grade fuel. But my guess is you will never notice.

You can change it when 95 is out but you really don't need to run that high octane unless you're boosting.

You're actually wasting money with the 97 RON stuff: the CR-Z's compression ratio isn't high enough to make use of the higher octane. Whether the premium stuff is cleaner or better for your engine is open to debate, but you won't get any extra mileage or power over the 95 RON.
