Sooo... it says it will run fine without any effect on engine life on 87 RIGHT IN THE MANUAL. Also, it's like $10 per tank difference. Last night, for example: Regular: $2.31, Premium: $3.01. So the difference is about $500/year. Not insignificant for the poors. All of that said after giving it some thought and discussion, I'll probably just use 89. It says (implies) right there in the manual that there will be no difference in performance/engine life between 89/91.
Does it ? I pulled that quote straight from bmw.com for a 2014 model year ...
I’d try to do 89 says it is still acceptable. 87 is :fullretard: status
Yeah, I'm basing that off of your quote. It explicitly states that 87 won't cause any ill effects on engine longevity, just that it can cause reduced performance.

The truck runs on 87.

The GTO and El Camino run on 93. The engines are 11.5:1 and 10.1:1 respectively, with the El Camino having iron heads. I usually try to fill those two up on a Tuesday when Shell knocks $.20 off premium gas.
Wait, is that a local thing or a Shell thing?

:mindblown:
:dat:

I will be a Tuesdays guy from here on out if so.

FWIW I have only ever put 93 in the :poorvette: :lolol:

I've also never driven so damn much, I'll probably be doing 20k/year at this rate, hopefully we'll move fairly soon and reduce that by quite a bit.

That’s close to my pace... it’s pretty much normal if you have an active lifestyle

It's like $.70 here in Delaware. It's fucking stupid.
$.70-$.80 here. :disappoint:

I refuse to love more than 15 miles from work. I'm at 10 now and it's solid.

15 is pretty much the minimum to be considered as a long commute as well. Whether with or without traffic.

It's a gas station with decent sandwiches and coffee that people from Southeastern PA, MD, and South NJ think is the best thing ever. They have also expanded to Florida in recent years, particularly in old havens like West Palm Beach and Fort Myers.
