Was at Thermal last week for a M track day. So much fun! Such a nice track.
Before leaving, I decided to drive over their fueling island and see what they had available since I had less than 1/4 tank left of 91 octane and I needed to drive ~20 miles back to the resort. Still pumped up from driving M cars, I wanted to keep the adrenaline going so I put in 2 gallons of 98 octane and enjoyed the open roads Car definitely felt better with the higher octane. A little more power and very smooth acceleration I wish 93 octane is regularly available for us I've driven over 2,000 miles with no issues so far. Still get 30+ mpg on the highway. Oil level still reading at the highest mark. |

That's about what I get, but then again my cab is heavier also! Just came back from NC and round trip @ 75+ was 27.9.

Could you post a cold-start video to see your rpm idle and after it settles ? Thanks Glad you're enjoying your 228 ECU Flash =D

I wish we had 93 octane here. I just got back from a European Vacation (if you don't count getting caught up in the ISIS attacks in Paris as being a vacation). I'm jealous of the octanes available there. I regularly saw 98 octane at the stations. Saw all sorts of BMW models I've never seen before. That was pretty cool. I only saw one 740 and one 435 the entire time. The majority with either diesel or all 2 liter powered cars. Not one M car!!!
