What Fuel?
 
Ok so I will be picking up my first Porsche on Tuesday a 2002 Boxster S and I am wondering what petrol to put in it, Shell V-Power + or BP ultimate unleaded, to get the best out of the car?

I seriously doubt you will ever feel a difference between the two or any other brand. Get the highest octane available and enjoy.

You won't notice a difference. Depending on where I am, I've used 91 at Petro and 94 at Shell and never noticed a diff in terms of mileage or performance. So I typically go with the 91 as there is no ROI on the higher priced gas.
Lots of things to sweat about with these...gas is not one of them.

Oh, and once you get her up and running, post a couple pics of her and introduce yourself.

you will notice a difference if you get bad gas. happened to me once from gas station that did very little buisness (older gas ) So always buy from busy stations. mine does well with shell 93 octane

My preference is Shell down here in FL. When I was driving from NC to FL and back over the last few years I would always fill up right before I departed FL. When I filled up at the Shell I could get to a certain milestone in SC. The one time I filled up at Walmart (Murphy gas?) I had to re-fill about 40 miles shy of my usual point.

I sense an oil or tire question coming... maybe both...
