The OP doesn't mention WHY they want to use regular instread of premium. I assume it's because of the price difference.

For arguements sake, let's say premium is $1 / gallon more expensive than regular. A fill-up will cost you a whole $15 more for premium. If you're scraping to save $15 once or twice a mo, a Boxster may not be the proper vehicle for you.

Where we live SoCal, and usually the difference between Premium and Regular is about $5 (max) per tank, and needless to say, we always use Premium in all the cars..

Wow!

Move to Nebraska. It's generally 50-75 cents at most difference. Thought I was being generous at $1 (and it made the math simple).

Well, for some of us, that would be $15 a week, and that’s reasonably serious beer money.

At one time, not too incredibly long age, I believe that PCNA had a statement on their website noting that regular fuel was just fine, given modern engine controls.
