I'm certain this must have come up before, but a search on the forum draws a blank - so apologies in advance if I offend anyones sensibilities by re-asking:

Just picked up a 2005 996 Turbo S Cab. on Saturday - do I need to keep it fed on Premium Unleaded, or will it drink regular unleaded during day to day use without ill effect ?

My previous car - a 2001 996 C4 Cab - ran very happily on regular unleaded, and I was advised that regular was fine by the OPC at the point of collection. The question didn't arise with my new car though as I was too keen to hit the road.

It certainly looks as though I'll be going through more petrol with this car, early scores on the trip computer suggest the possibility of 15mpg compared with 21-24mpg in the old car.
