964 specs

Anyone have the specs on the 964 N/A engine? Suggested fuel rating, mpg etc?

Just curious as to what I shold be expecting on my SC with that engine. Since moving back to CA, my mpg has dropped with the E85 that is all that is available.

Just did a fillup and 15mpg seems a bit low. It might have been due to my DME having a bad contact on the power fuse....I'll check it again now that I replaced it.

C/D test results in 1989 says 14/20 mpg (city/hwy) on a Carrera 4 which is quite a bit heavier than an SC.

There's an "After Sales Training Manual" for the 964 & 993 engine repair that says fuel is premium unleaded (98RON/88MON whatever that means...) and mileage is 16/25 for the 964

want me to email you a copy?
