Here in MA we don't have it yet

The mobil I fill up at does... Actually many of the mobils I've filled up around here have 10% stickers on them..

Asiann, I was told that Cosco was what ever they can buy whosale for the cheepest. Most of the time in Southern Cal it's Exon or Arco. Basicly junk gas with ethenal. I would keep my BMW away from that stuff. My oldest son had drivability problems with his 1996 Toyota pickup on that crap. All that said I do shop Cosco on a regular basis. You know what they say, "If Cosco don't have it you don't need it". Just thought I d through that in.

Just think of the last time you paid $1 for a 16oz bottle of water. That comes out to $8 a gallon for WATER which you can get for free out of a faucet.

That's interesting. So either she lied to me or I misunderstood her

I'll have to check the Mobile stations that I go to.

Actually, almost every station I've been to lately has it. Look for the sticker. Was at shell during lunch and there were stickers on the pump for 10%...

Anyone with anything to say about my dry gas question earlier? I'm thinking of trying some dry gas before next fill-up to get rid of any water/crap in the system... I have used it extensively before, just wanted to make sure no one could think of any issues with it and the e90..

That is cheap! Try paying $2 or $3 in some places for water.

More Info

Just got an oil change by a friend who is a BMW tech for 8 years, I ask him about the ethanol in our Gas and he told me that Mobil uses the most ethanol. Shell is what he recommends (In Boston, MA). Reason for the enthanol is to keep the price low in the US market .

He also warn me about gas stations draining out there tank when season changes to winter by not refilling which can have alot of water in the gas.

So for people that uses Mobil and/or cheap gas stations....you're paying for corn oil

GO GET CHEVRON GUYS. my dad owns one.

Which one???

Actually, I was at the shell gas station a couple weeks ago, they had ads on all the pumps that say ..."even BMW recommends Shell gasoline." Also, I know that at least in chicago, they change the gasoline additives during the winter time and summer time.

when i got home i put in the mobil gas. (i usually put V-power and Chevron) since then the car really felt ridiculously heavy. i checked the tires already and i see no problem with the tires.

i dont really know... it could be me but the car really felt different.

so your saying your a musician...so i'm i
