Anyway, the weather is cool lately, so Octane 89 is more than fine. Though when I pick up my G in 3 weeks, I'm only putting Octane 91 in. I was just trying out different grades to see what the differences are because I read some articles about different engines responding differently to various octane levels of gasoline.

Stephen....I have heard of some members using lower octane juice, but from my experience, the higher the octane the better. There's even some who use 94 to feed their baby..

I personally use 91 in my M as I did in my G-Sedan and G-Coupe. It's more money but worth the added expence when you look at engine performance, and longevity.

........and oh yes, the higher the octane the more the detergent in the gas, and that helps keep our engine's parts cleaner.
In the long run, that can add up to a big saving.

G/L with your ride and enjoy
