Nope, the computer will adjust the engine to your fuel and you just won't get top performance.

No harm done,

I think my trunk or frunk had a sticker from the factory stating that very thing.

I finally made it on the freeway after 3 weeks. I was amazed on how "dialed in" my Boxster felt at 110 mph!

I'm getting close to my first car wash. I've researched this site extensively and this is what I've learned 1) hand wash 2) no automatic wash 3) be careful around the side air intakes 4) minimal washing of the top. Anything last min advice before I wash my car???
