I was wondering, what do you guys use? Should I strictly use Super, or alternate with Premium?
When you open the fuel filler flap, you will see a sticker that tells you to use Super Unleaded 98-RON fuel. Hence, you should use that. I use Shell V-Power which is 99-RON.

Using the correct fuel as recommended by Porsche will give you better performane and better mpg.
