Does it really matter?
I recently had my car serviced and the dealer explained something to me about the type of gas I use. I use 93 octane and only fill up with Sunoco.
Does it really matter what gas station I go to? If so, what gas station would you recommend? They told me use shell, which is pretty weird because I never thought the company made a difference. |

The shell Vpower has less Methanol, ethanol as additives or techton ... And these seem to cause issues with these high performance and high compression engines and do not burn as clean is my understanding I may be a bit off about the details, but both BMW and Mercedes has recommended shell Vpower for my M and Amg vehicles Perhaps M6-Coupe can fill in the details more correctly Last edited by 2007 to 2016 M6 Cab; 03-26-2016 at 12:02 AM.. |
