Chevron as recommended by BMW and MB dealers in this area.

 

Matter of fact, why is it that petrol is so low-grade in US? In Europe it's almost impossible to find any lower than 95 octane. Also, zero ethanol/suplhur as far as I know.

Not trying to be an ass, just curious. Maybe because it's twice as cheap? (over $6 for a gallon in EU)

 

Shell 93 octane all the waaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!

Tried BP, CHEVRON, SUNOCO, COSTCO, SAMS, nothing comes even close to SHELL (Period)

 

Shell 91..93 is not available out here in so cal...

 

Shell all the time. Nothing else!

 

The difference is that the rating is different. The highest EP octane rating is equivalent to US 93. The reason why gas is so much more expensive in Europe is mainly due to taxes. In my opinion, in Europe, cars are viewed as a luxury item and taxed accordingly. In the U.S. they are a necessity.

 

I was just going to say. Shell 93? We don't get that here.. damn.. 91 only

 

Shell, but mostly because its cheap and right down the road.

 

yeah, there a re few stations out here that offer higher than 91, just gotta google them...

 

silly. gas isn't that much different station to station. and when it is different, it's going to make a marginal difference in your car. the few cases of bad gas are not specific to a particular gas station.
