Where can I buy German Gasoline?

In appealing to all the American Porsche Purists: I'd like to know where can I find German Gasoline- I'm really trying to keep my 911 and 930 pure and all original.

I just can't bare the thought of putting non original fuel in my Porsches anymore.... American Fuel is fine for my POS American Made Viper, but after reading all the posts condemning American V8's in 911's... It just feels immoral not keeping my fluids OEM.

I'm also thinking about replacing the driver with and OEM German one too. A nice tall female one would be nice...

Your help and recommendations would be appreciated!

Re your sig:

1966 wife#1 lease returned.- 1967 wife#2 lease returned. Looking for a wife#3 late '70s early '80s model with low miles.

You ever thought about just short term rentals?

You have to go to Germany and bring it back. You can't check it in your luggage so my suggestion is to put it in your carry on.

Good advice, but there are *things* that you can do on a lease, that you just can't get away with during short term rentals and test drives...

I don't know about that!! I had one short term lease model that ALWAYS wanted to do more than the lease or purchased model ever would dream of. Of course, she was always a wild thing...

Are you looking for German gas for carbs, or for fuel injection?

I guess most Germans would be happy to buy American gas at the moment. Gas in Germany costs approx. 6 $/gal and keeps climbing. Pretty sure you will find someone who is willing to swap.
