I had a Porsche dealer tell me that I should only run 93 octane fuel if I drive the car hard. He said it can actually be bad to run 93 due to it being a slow burning fuel and can lead to major carbon build up IF DRIVEN "SOFT." Like my friends that previously owned the vehicle, I have only put 93 in it. I heard Shell is a highly recommended 93......

Opinions please?
