No lead, and I am not sure of the alcohol content, but it is 10% max.
Most Porsche factory tuned DME's can maximize about 96-97 octane. Depending on the car (n/a or turbo), weather, and altitude, for example. Any amount about this is a waste, without a customized tune.
Is 93 "better" than 91? Yes. is 96-97 octane better than 93? Yes. Does this really matter much in street driving? Not really. But, it depends on how you drive.  |
What evidence do you have that they can take advantage of 96? If this is true, the knock sensor on all cars is always retarding timing, which would show up on an obdii code reader. I've never seen mine retarding timing on 91 in Colorado (same as 93 at sea level), which means higher octane than that isn't advancing timing at all.
