Hi All, I have a 1988 911 Carrera Sport. I am not sure what fuel I am to put in it, 95 or 98 octain. Could you please help me.

I run either, 98 seems to give better mpg but costs more so its swings and roundabouts. I've had the car dyno'd several times running various fuels, and the power difference is barely noticeable. I run the car daily on a 40 mile round trip and have used various fuels and like I said the only noticeable difference is MPG, about 20-25 more miles out of a full tank on the stronger stuff.
 
Thanks for the information Big_nige that is a great help.

Trevor I will all ways try to use the 98+octane if I can, and try to stay away from the supermarket stuff had a bad experience running leaded from them (blocked injectors £350)[:mad:][:mad:] But you can happily run on both
 
I don't put anything in other than Sainsburys, Nectar points and discounts from the instore shopping makes sure I'm a regular customer. Last dyno session the car was running on Sainburys 'Taste the difference' gave 241 and good mpg. Hear alot of bad about Tesco's fuel though. Use the car regularly and it'll be fine, personally I think alot of running problems owners have is down to infrequent use. These cars like/need to be used.
