What does the owners manual say for minimum octane in a 84 euro spec 944?

83 owners manual says 98 RON and the 944 workshop manual says 96 Ron.

It normally tells you on a sticker inside the fuel filler flap. My '83 is 98 RON

Can you still get leaded gas or have you switched to unleaded?

All unleaded over here. Those very old classics that have to run on leaded petrol need to buy a lead additive (if I'm not mistaken).

944 takes unleaded no problem, no mods

Thanks all. That's what I needed.
