I agree, unfortunately trying to fight the government never works so well. When it comes to things like this, we really have no recourse. The only way it would work is to actually get a car manufacturer behind us to say that they built these cars with the intent that unleaded gasoline will be used and anything other than this could cause damage.

Thing is, the big 3 manufacturers are vested in oil. I'm not sure about Porsche though, but I doubt they'd be willing to help any of us driving older cars. Their biggest concern is for new car sales and repeat business. I wouldn't even know where to begin fighting a battle of this magnitude.

I looked at the manual and it just talks about octane ratings and says unleaded fuel only, refer to your dealer for more information.
