Continuing with my Porsche Classic tribute, since the duck tail rear lid has a 3rd brake light, the original has to go….a little work with the cutoff wheel and a piece of 12ga steel welded back in, and we’re good. My temporary vinyl wrap comes in handy here for a quick completion…..the real repaint will come in this summer!
Just moved from California where only 91 octane was available, and current location premium is 93 octane. After a few tanks expected engine to recalibrate and advance timing, but acceleration feels the same.

I normally don't like the Classic style Fuch wheels on modern cars, but it really works on yours and looks great !!!
Thanks, @Porschetech3 I think so too....they were specifically designed in '22 for the 1-off Classic Club Coupe, and those suckers were pricey, and took 4 months to get this summer through Suncoast.
An easy upgrade....the sunroof delete that came next was a bit more involved!

Clif notes: they only felt the diffference in octane when going from 87 to 93 in a turbocharged vehicle. Still an interesting read.
Some Sunoco stations around me sell 94 octance. I always try to stop there. Can't feel any difference but it makes my head happy.
Octane doesn’t make any performance difference as long as you have enough octane to not trigger preignition (ping) compensation.
Ethanol has less energy and makes less power/mileage than pure gas, so pure gas will create a bit more power/mileage versus blended. The difference is pretty profound for E85, far less for E10 or E15. Never had the chance to compare E10 vs pure myself though.
I’m aware of the site, but none are really practical or close. I think NJ has a law against selling it in normal stations, sadly. Though “par for the course” for NJ .
