What brand gas?
Just curious, is there a particular brand gas that you guys swear by?
Personally I've been only putting Shell V-power because of 2 reasons. First it's the only top tier fuel around me, and secondly when fifth gear compared Shell and BP, shell made like 2 hp more..

I personally don't use that Shell V-Power. Simply because every time I filled my 2001 325ci with that gas it would turn on my 'service engine soon' light. It only happened with the Shell V-Power. I have been using Exon.

I usually go to the Hess station near me because they are usually a few cents cheaper than the other ones. I have used, Hess, Mobil, Sunoco so far in my car and have noticed no difference in performance.
I've also noticed this car spends a lot of time going to the gas station

Mobile, BP, Exxon, Citgo, etc. might as well get BJ's or Wawa gas. Shell V-Power or Sunoco 93 only for me. |

I usually put in Chevron supreme with Techron (top-tier). If no Chevron around then I get Shell V-power. If neither of those around I get the supreme at 76. All of these are top-tier.

Pretty much all the gasoline on the West coast and for that matter I think most large/major cities in the US contain 10% ethanol across all grades of fuel...
