  The diff between 95,98 and Xo/Platinium, mainly is the density. The 95 will be denser and thus when you pick up, you will feel you bike is heavier if you change to 98 or XO. XO is actually 98 except that certain addictives were added to boost the pick up. How true is this?? You have to find out liao. The best person the test this is LANXX. Coz he used 95 for some time liao. Then he will be able to feel the diff if he change to XO/Plat. But try this when your oil tank is low.

  i used to bi a cheapo too, used Caltex 95 for some time b4 switching to 98. but i found de diff 2 be quite significant leh.
  
  used to kick start 2-3 times b4 engine starts, now kick start 1-2 times can liao. Oso, de accleration seems 2 b smoother. Anywez, price diff btw 95 & 98 onli bout 3%.
  
  i travel bout 200 km per week, de most spent $0.3 more onli.
