It's interesting that you have this problems in the US.
Over here in Germany we are having problems getting regular.
Some gas stations are not selling it anymore, just premium.

Yes, having the same issue here in Atlanta. Can't find Premium anywhere.
The pipeline company, today, said the supply is back to normal
but the fuel moves at only ax 5 MPH 
, comes this way from TX.

Was wondering if any had any experience on 110 octane? I filled my 07 530 xi with Mark 2 pro racing fuel the other day. Good pull! Pros? Cons? on doing this. I regulary fill up 94 octane.

Also, you have an 08 550i. If you can afford the car, but the $0.10-$0.20 difference in regular vs premium gas is causing you monetary issues, you need to get a cheaper car.

The brass tacks question was, what's the forum members' opinions on octane boosters?
