Right fuel for 911 Carrera
What is the right fuel for my 88 911? Kind of confusing from reading the owner's manual. I think 92 octane? How bout' some specific brands to look for and stay away from. I'll be driving from Miami to Maine starting Friday. Thanks.

For low altitude, 93 is recommended. In other words, premium. For high altitude, like in Denver where I live, 91 is premium. The octane requirement decreases with altitude.

I'm not sure if there is a better brand per se. I seem to prefer the stations where cute girls pump the gas.....(i live in Oregon. We're really progressive out here) 
. And that's not to say that I let them pump my gas btw. The rule is they have to hand you the pump.
Anyway, I do love me some non-ethanol...

After the record rain falls here in the Northeast this summer there was a problem with water seeping into underground tanks. I try to use stations that appear to have high turnover. Also, do you have the stock chip? The SW's come in different flavors to accomodate what is available in your area. So, I presume, a CA car (for example) with a SW chip would be set up for 91. I assume FL is 93 though.
Man, you are going to have so much fun!!

Here's where you can go to find the best quality gas for our cars - Top Tier Gas
And here's where you can find gas stations that offer ethanol-free gas in the U.S. and Canada - Pure Gas

What would you guys recommend in a '79sc? I've been using premium, but this past week i ended up in the middle of nowhere and the only station there didn't have hightest. I filled with regular and I'm not sure if i can feel the difference... Were the high octanes even available at service stations back then?
