Mine says exactly the same as yours. It makes sense I supposed. Just need to find cheaper 98-99 Unleaded I can use. From a reputable place
Tesco Momentum 99, works a treat and is substantially cheaper than V-Power, I've used it in many of my previous cars (including my last car, Audi RS6 Performance).

FWIW I have used (almost) exclusively Esso Supreme which I think is 98 or 99 octane. I couldn't say for definite that it makes much of a difference but on the one occasion when it was filled up (by someone else) with standard unleaded I remember being slightly puzzled for a few days afterwards why I couldn't achieve quite such a good mpg as usual.
Make of that what you will!
