Let's not forget how much Porsche rely on the heritage of their back catalogue when marketing their new 718 and Speedster models, for example. Quote Reply #21

I've just acquired an SQ2, which shares platform and engine with Golf R, Cupra Ateca and others. Looking at fuel requirements, there was a distinct sense of deja vu .. 'Unleaded fuel only RON / ROZ 98 Super Plus or min.RON / ROZ 95 Super, Premium The use of Super Plus petrol (98 RON / 93 AKI)is recommended. If that type of fuel is not available, premium petrol (95 RON / 91 AKI) can be used with a slight loss of power. .. 91 RON .. as an emergency measure .. moderate engine speeds and light throttle. Fill up etc etc' There are quite a few of these engines still emerging from VAG, so longevity of Super Plus looks good to me ! Re Ethanol, EN228 standard is mandatory, up to 10% is Ok, fuel system damage will occur if E30 <> E100 used. As I've said before, these types of issues should really be picked up at Director / Club level, but my calls have continually fallen on deaf ears ! HTH, cheers, Maurice post edited by MoC2S - 2021/03/03 17:41:28 © Maurice Piper 2021 All Rights Reserved & No Licence Granted 993 Register Secretary 2003-2020 993 Assistant Register Secretary 2001-2003 Organiser First & Original VMax Bruntingthorpe 2003 'Wild Things are always Faster' Quote Reply #24

'we have xxxxx cars on our registers affected by this etc' It looks like that's what the FBHVC did.

Who doesn't read their Porsche Boast ?? Don't blame you, but Esso has been a 'members benefit' for such a long time .. It is the evening track day at Donington May 13th ? I see its full, is it worth going on the offchance of a session ? Maybe it is just to see & hear a CGT ripping out the tarmac !! cheers, Maurice © Maurice Piper 2021 All Rights Reserved & No Licence Granted 993 Register Secretary 2003-2020 993 Assistant Register Secretary 2001-2003 Organiser First & Original VMax Bruntingthorpe 2003 'Wild Things are always Faster' Quote Reply #30

There are more Tescos selling 99 RON far cheaper than Esso price minus 2p, so it makes for a pretty dumb Member's Benefit. Dates back to Chris Seaward, IIRC .. Stoptech is US manufacturer of performance brakes. Unusually, they do upgrade kits for most Porsches, far cheaper than even stock Brembos, with a range of options. Do you think this constitutes electioneering ? cheers, Maurice © Maurice Piper 2021 All Rights Reserved & No Licence Granted 993 Register Secretary 2003-2020 993 Assistant Register Secretary 2001-2003 Organiser First & Original VMax Bruntingthorpe 2003 'Wild Things are always Faster' Quote Reply #34

Not exactly sure when it was changed to 2p but it was earlier this year. Possibly around the time that fuel started increasing in price which was close to the time that the £ appreciated against the $. I do realise it’s not that simple...

E5 is the maximum it can have. I can assure you that in most areas of England (the far north and south west excluded) Supreme is ethanol free.

It's a lovely day for a drive anyway !!
