If your car requires 91 octane rating (PON) then you must use at least 95 RON.

I always use 98 octane in both my cars. I have tried Shell’s 100 in the 335i but could not see any appreciable difference.

Cheers.

i use BP ultimate, cos of the citibank card

i noticed in my dealer they have a BP fuel pump, and in headoffice (mulgrave-vic) they also use BP

however, i think i get better mileage with Vortex98, only used it once and got a few ks more

it doesn't concern me, i alternate between 95 and 98... and between caltex and shell and bp

I use the 98RON, Shell's VPower. I only use the VPower Racing when the VPower is out, as it's more expensive and gives slightly worse fuel economy due to the ethanol content.
However this is a very old discussion, which we've been over before....
