I've got that issue, I remember the M5 getting 541hp though using 104 sunoco fuel. I remember it also mentioning that the ECU is intuitive and changes according to the fuel quality. Pity it cost like $7 a liter over there!!!

I think Guy mentioned that racing fuel here (103/104 octane) is about $7/litre.

102RON $6.05 or $6.60 depending on which one
110 RON $8

All I know is I ran out of BP98 at Cervantes nth of Perth - had to put 20l of 95 or some crap in, then on way home was struggling to overtake a rogue 200 series cruiser diesel.
I managed it but only just... and I have APR tune and coilovers
never again without bp98....

If you have to use 95Ron, particularly when filling from empty and you're chipped, switch it back to STD tune.

I know most companies don't recommend you running less than 98 when chipped.

Anyone use e10???

[noone]

no, 95 for stock, 98 for tuned.

same as the other thread you asked in.

You could if it was 95e10 but from my experience the lean burn of ethanol freaks out the o2 sensor & it runs the engine rich so you'll use more fuel than the saving at the pump.
