You have a very expensive Porsche and you are complaining about using premium fuel . Look in the silly thing called a manual and it will say premium required or recommended .

Open the gas filler door. Does it read “Premium Fuel Required” ? or “Premium Fuel Recommended” ?

Then check the definition of “Required” and “Recommended” in Webster’s Dictionary. There is your answer.
