Yes. I believe they're different though depending upon the year & engine size.

I redrew the "sticker" and had one made out of aluminum. Here is what it looks like, if you want to copy I could send you the original file. Good luck!

In my car, the fuel sticker is on the RF wheel well inside the front trunk, not on the gas tank. I believe the sticker on the gas tank is the one with tire pressures. I don't have a photo and I can't check my car at the moment (at work).

On my 1972 1.7, the sticker w tire info is on the expansion tank, not the gas tank itself.
I have never seen the ROZ/RON "sticker" w info on the gas needed

Dave, make it easy on everyone & tell us your 914's engine & year, then we can give you example pix. IIRC - AA also makes a repro sticker similar to Mary's for the 70-73 1.7s (& 74 1.8's maybe too), as well as that later silver 75-76 one that VoPo posted above.

FYI - the tire sizes were 155SR15 for the 70-73 1.7's & 74-75 1.8s, & 165HR15 for the 73-76 2.0s, with the early stickers being yellow/gold foil, & 75-76 were silver foil.

Here's the one from my 73 2.0, which we still need George/AA to repro for restos (which cuts off the round-cornered black borderline - sorry, similar to Mary's above):

... note the subtle differences from Mary's 73 1.7 one posted above. I have no idea why the vehicle capacity would be about 150# less on the bigger engined 914-2.0!!??

Also, it may be a graphic designer's anal retentive-ness, but it looks like though the top font is right, Univers Bold Condended, the bottom part is a bit different, should be Futura Medium Condensed.
