Others have the details, but today's 87 Octane corresponds to 1968's 93 Octane. In other words, use the cheap stuff (but purchase it from a reputable station).

Well, I'm actually not sure at what amperage I would want the fuse/breaker to blow/trip. 55W x 2 @ 12V = 9.2 amps and 100W (maybe someday) x 2 @ 12V = 16.7 amps.
