Carl 3 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 95 Runs on 91 just as good but doesn't starts so good in the cold so stick with 95, don't notice a difference between 95 and 98 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get around 450k a tank round town, 650k traveling. - I think thats right, its been a while since I've checked. 65L tank I think. I figure $3.25 extra a tank over 95 is peanuts. 91 Octane feels noticeably sluggish.

my_e36 43 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 I try to get 98 where possible but minimum of 95 for me and all the cars in the family. Like walker said, few dollars per tank extra is peanuts for the extra performance/fuel economy. I too feel some difference in dropping to 91. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get pretty much the same, though more like 400 round town & 700 out on the strip. Have used 98 only for the past few fills, don't notice any perf. difference but I reckon the engine likes it better so why not. 97 328 coupe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThreeOneEight 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2007 BP 98, because I shop at New World and get 15 cents a litre off my petrol at BP, 95 seems to do the same, though I'm usually listening to Phil Collins too loud to tell what the engine is doing. Never tried putting 91 in, probably wouldn't, M40s don't like being treated anything but perfectly if you expect long service! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 91 in the ol 535,sometimes will go 95,95 feels nicer and marginally more economical 550 ks per tank about 62 litres normal fill that s 11.2 per 100.pretty easy driving buts lots of traffic lights,so accellerate to 100 ks,then stop.Accellerate to 100 ks then stop....nice when you get a good run.If i lived on the flat my average would be in the 10-11L per 100 km Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
