Petrol question
Hi Guys,
I've just bought myself a 88 2.7 944, well chuffed  Quick question though, hope this doesnt make me sound too daft, but what petrol should I be putting in it? The previous owner said unleaded, but I just wanted to check to see what you guys would recommend. Thanks in advance, Bleech |

Okay not to threadjack or anything but I was just wondering the same thing...now I drive alot and really can't afford the high price of premium evry fill up, I try and run some through every 3rd tank..now is this bad ? on the gas cap door it states 91-92 octane..is this for a mechanical purpose? should I "only" be running premi? I hope I am not killing my car with 87 octane...it still works out cheaper to run a full tank of 89 octane and run a bottle of octane boost than running straight premi..this is only temporary untill i get back on my feet after nasty divorce..but I do notice the car loves premi more..
Regardz, Jeremy

Re: Petrol question
Regular Unleaded works just fine.

Re: Petrol question
Notice it says 91 RON. When you fill up notice that the method of determining octane the gas companies use is something like this (R+M)/2
that's (Research Octane Number + Motor Octane Number) / 2. It's the average of two features of gasoline that make up octane. More info here: http://www.geocities.com/bmw535i86/text/FAQ/FAQ.11.html
