Tried them all including Petro Canada 94. Shell V-power premium is what i use regularly.

Only V91 for me.
And also for the auxiliary fuel pump that's submerged in the 928 fuel tank and uses the gas for lubrication. Anything with Ethanol will destroy it in a couple of years. The Shark only gets Shell 91 (AFAIK the only 91 in the GTA with no Ethanol) while the newer ones have no problem feasting on Esso 93 or Petro Canada 94.

And, not that gas comsumption is an issue for most of us here, but all other things being equal, Shell 91 gets me ~10-15% better fuel mileage than anything with Ethanol in it.

Porsche supplied a Petro Canada discount card when buying the TT last year, so why not use it...

Chased a minor evap leak for a year while running Chevron 94. Switched to Shell V (Nitro) 91 sans ethanol and within 1/2 tank, evap leak CEL cleared itself.

Esso 93 contains Ethanol.

Petro Canada 94 only in the TT
It's the highest octane available as far as I am aware.

It must have been the fuel...

I use Shell 91 on Pcars, it's 0 ethanol and there is one on the corner of my street.
