Might not run as well as it would on 91 but ECU will adapt and will be fine, if you were tuned for 98 and put in 91 then you might feel a real difference but you should be fine

Will probably run better!!
In the UK, our cars are mapped to run on basic 95RON. Most of us on the forum run 99RON and notice a huge improvement
The Bosch ECU will adapt for better fuels (or worse fuels).

91 US Octane = 95 RON
93 US Octane =98 RON
Is 95 RON available? 98 RON should do no harm as the ECU should adapt.

Look in the fuel flap to see what the car is configured for.
Highest octane is best. End of
