Does the 2012 Porsche Cayman S need premium gas?
Every gas trim of this model takes premium.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.4L 6-cyl, Automatic 7-spd, RWD | PREMIUM | 23 | $3,350 |
| 3.4L 6-cyl, 6-spd manual, RWD | PREMIUM | 21 | $3,650 |
The EPA records the fuel each version was tested on. Whether premium is strictly required or just recommended is an owner's-manual detail the EPA dataset doesn't include — so we don't guess it.
