Gas for 2.0 924?

Hi gyes.

I have a sort of basic question. What grade of gasoline is it possible for me to use in my 76 924 (CR 9,3:1) I was told by the former ovner that i had to use 98 octane leadded gasoline, but can i use unledded? A 911 of the same vintage can. What about 95 octane unleadded ? (a little cheaper)

Thanks Peter.

Hello Peter!
According to Shell your 924 needs 98 octane leaded gasoline. If you get a 924 80' you will be able to use unleaded 98 octane, and if you get an 924S you will be able to use the "cheap stuff" (95 unleaded).

T talking the U.S. fuel grade...

In europe, the equivelant of 93 octane here would be about 97, but I'm not positive exactly how much higher they are.

Should be about 4-8 (than US)
