Merc for hire · 03-19-2015, 12:52 PM

still on my first tank of gas from the dealer

cbbplanet · 03-19-2015, 12:53 PM

Finds 100 octane racing fuel wherever I can, mix it with 91.

Dang SoCal don't offer 93...

sstarrx3 · 03-19-2015, 01:37 PM

93 octane all the time...ethanol free when I can find it!

NY10 · 03-19-2015, 02:57 PM

228i premium 93 only and always and yes it is a must

2+3=5 · 03-19-2015, 03:05 PM

mfourn20 · 03-19-2015, 04:04 PM

100 octane haha j/k I don't even have a tune. I did load up on the super+ stuff before hitting the N-ring. Good for 0.02 seconds off my lap time.

chaswyck1 · 03-19-2015, 07:05 PM

Shell V-Power 91 (highest available in CA)

228

BMW335iOn18s · 03-19-2015, 07:08 PM

I use only 91, 92, or 93.

Ditto

Shell Premium or mid-grade. No performance difference that I can detect. My best mpg tank - 31 mpg - was achieved with mid grade, which is 20 cents/gallon cheaper than premium.

I'd probably use mid-grade even if priced the same, as it likely contains less ethanol than premium.

I wish we could get 93 in California.

ExZACTLY what he said.

It makes a huge difference especially in hot climates.

CreativeFuel · 03-20-2015, 12:10 AM

Shell V-Power 93 Octane whenever possible.

Use the old Kroger card for $.10/gallon off.

horsepower_and_hounds · 03-20-2015, 05:56 AM

Marathon 91 or 93....
You should do a poll up top

zipphreak · 03-20-2015, 06:12 AM

Cumberland Farms 93 Octane Mostly $2.52, Alternatively Shell vPOWER 93 $2.69
