Porsche can run on regular unleaded gas
For the past couple of years I thought that my Porsche could only run on Premium gas.
Now these bitches are telling me my precious porsche can run on regular. NY times had the scoop when it came to this realization by those smart ass scientists. The benefits of switching from premium to regular is that it can save several dollars on each tankful, saving 30 cents a gallon-according to AAA.
They lied to us when they stated that using gasoline containing lower octane rating would eff up your car. It is now a fact that nearly all automobiles sold in the US since the 1990’s are able to smoothly run on regular-grade-87-octane gasoline . This could have been handy to me…for the past couple of months. For all those racers out there, the seven-horsepower difference is less than 2 percent.
Not so bad when you’re saving dough.

I’ve driven a “Sports Car” that recommended premium gas, and I’ve very nearly always run “regular” unleaded in it, without a problem. I put “the good stuff” in when I want to treat myself, because the performance IS a little bit better (if I really want to go crazy, put in an octane-booster additive :> ).
I tell ya, it’s collusion between the gasoline companies and the car manufacturers… They probably even get kickbacks…
