Which kinda gas should I run in my 914?
should I use lead additives or just run premium in it? or just run regular (crosses fingers) This is really irrelevant, seeing as it's going to be a long time before she's on the road....but just thought I'd ask thanks! |

Looks like I'm the only one so far using premium....Hmm....
The owners manual for my '71 1.7L says "98 Octane (Premium)" and the owners manual for my '74 2.0L say 91 RON What is the conversion from RON to R+M/2? Is 91 RON regular or premium? Price diff these days between regular and premium is still about 20 cents/gal. For a 10 gallon fillup @ $4/gal, diff is $2 on $40. |

I seriously doubt you found ANYTHING in your manual for your 1971 Porsche that indicates to use 98 octane. It is quite likely though that your manual and your car direct you to use 91 RON which is a standard not used in the United States...find the equivalent octane rating by taking (RON+MON)/2, you'll get the octane rating of the fuel. You will find in most situations that (91 RON + X MON)/2 equates to regular unleaded gasoline. |
