I did european delivery and I spoke with both my delivery agent and the paperwork agent on petrol and they both had the same speech: don't bother buying more than 91 as the engine won't know the difference and it'll be a waste of money.
I don't know enough to have an opinion on it and can only buy 91 here anyway, but that's what they said.[/QUOTE] Oh, I think it's more powerful using 93. I will try 91 next time. THX

Ok so if you had a choice:
Top Tier gas or Ethanol Free gas from a non Top Tier brand Discuss.

I don't think is a Federal requirement, but I have not read on that, all I can tell you is that there are places here in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee where I have purchased 100 % non-ethanol gas, pure gasoline. Not really that hard either. check Ethanol Free and Pure Gas apps for iPhone or go to their websites where they tell you if they are gas stations with pure gas non-ethanol in your area.

I have only used Exxon/Mobil gas in my cars the past 7 years. I have always felt that in each car I have had, Exxon gasoline is very good. I have used Shell and BP and do not really notice a difference. I think Shell/BP/Exxon are all on the same level.

I'd probably go ethanol free, but that is just a fantasy, isn't it?

100% Non-Ethanol Gas here:
I always put 100 % non-ethanol gas. Check out this website, there might be a gas station nearby with 100 % pure gas.

I use ethanol free myself. There are 5 stations within 10 miles of my house that have it. It is usually 20 cent more per gallon but it is worth it. The gas mileage increase will more than offset the price of the fuel.

Is it kind of a mom's pop's store? There's a few no name brands not far from the house, but if I'm going to go non-top tier, I'm sticking with a bigger chain like Spinx.

Pure Gasoline
For those that use pure gasoline, just remember to use BMW Fuel System Cleaner in the tank every 6k miles to clean your injectors... Part of Shell and Shell like Gas stations that is good, is that they have chemicals (cleaners) that help your engine, that's basically the only good thing they have, so by using pure gas it would be helpful for you to use a Fuel Cleaner, like BMW's.
my 2 cents |
