I store my car for 3-4 months, heated garage. Fill it up with premium and add sta-bil fuel.
A local station carries ethanol free 89 octane gas(same price as premium).
Is it worth it to put the lower grade gas/ethanol free(w/sta-bil fuel) for winter
storage? Did it in my lawn weapons, but the storage time is even longer on those.

Just curious. I usually prescribe to the if ain't broke philosophy, but thought
it worth asking the question........

Do 964's have knock sensors? If so, I would think that it's safe to use the lower octane ethanol-free stuff. I know 3.2 Carrera's and earlier do not have knock sensors, so the high octane fuel is a hard requirement for those cars.

I switched to Stabil Marine with ethanol laced fuel. I have had great luck with all my gas powered toys. My snow blower fired up last winter after setting a year on the first pull. I do double dose if I plan on anything setting more than a few months
