Do you use 95 and 98 petrol and see any difference in FC or power?

Have been using 98 and thinking of switching to 95.

Thanks !

Drive BMW still think about RON 95 vs RON 98. Should buy Lexus instead.

The diff in term of $$ is $9.3 for a tank of 70L.

$9.3? That is good money, that is about the tip of $10 I paid tip to my regular fish ball noddle seller in Toa Payoh

Why think so much? Go ahead and try 1/2 tank. Let us know your findings.

95 vs 98 more relevant for tuned turbo engines ....

NA engines ..... No diff.
 
Re: 95 vs 98 any different on F10?

Not sure. I did not try. Been alternating between 98 and v power. However, I tried 95 vs 98 on my harrier though. FC is better w the 98 and ride is better w 98. More power. Personally speaking, you can try 95 and see the difference. If 98 is better, stick to 98. You spent a bomb on the f10, all the more you should enjoy the ride.

Disagree.... Very obvious drop in power when u use 95. Once on 98, you can feel visible difference in terms of responsiveness...

Your car high mileage ? Or your ride has a tune with an aggressive timing ? Turbo application ?

Higher RON prevents detonation.

Depending on your engine and software - Higher RON don't make power. Lower RON doesn't mean would lose power either.

Additives to make your drive feel better which depends on the brand - e.g Spc 98 vs Vpower is a different topic

Re: 95 vs 98 any different on F10?

Bmw said minimum 95, but do dyno on 98.

Don't need think also know 98 confirm better, especially in our hot weather.
 
Re: 95 vs 98 any different on F10?

Switched to vpower recently after 3.5 years with 98. Much more responsive.....cannot imagine the feel with 95.
