Sunoco 93. Its not that I don't want to go anywhere else, I just pass two on the way to work and their gas has never given me issues on my '10 535. My prior e60 was a mix of Sunoco and Exxon. No issues with Exxon either.

I have used Chevron 93 octane in oth cars forever...with no problems. But after having rough idling...many (including dealer) suggested Shell 93. Didn't make any difference at all. So I am back to Chevron OR Shell...whichever is closest at the time.

I hear you; its getting harder and near impossible these days to not have ethanol included; however most motors are okay with 10% or less; 15% is tooo much; you'll see a sticker on the pump of stations that pull this crap; if you do stay away!

I prefer Sunoco and Ultra ... when they're available where I'm driving. Otherwise I gas up with "premium" at my local BJ's Wholesale Club. They pump a lot of gas so I know it's fresh and their suppliers dump the same gas at area Mobil, Exxon stations.
