Hi all, from the replies above 98 seems the way to go. Any thoughts on whether it should be Shell, Caltex, Esso or SPC? I believe different cars (engines) has specific preferences.

i pump 98 de, only pump v power when theres promotion. anyway, from my observation, its better to pump 98 as fuel consumption is much better. tank depletes fast on 95, and its very much dependent on your driving style. if you floor, 98/v power(if got promotion) is more ideal. =p

and also theoretically speaking, 98 has higher octane level, hence better fuel combustion compared to 95. with better combustion comes better FC.

i tried 95 and 98 -

98 gives that little punch more than 95. Money well spent.....

The diff btw 95 & 98 is 8 cents/liter. That would be $4.8 over a full tank. Even in good old Nissan Sunny, i have nvr pump 95.

i used 98 during my first yr of driving my mazda 3sp, no diff one leh
i switch to 95 for next 3yrs plus, i cannot feel any diff

what im asking is, does it hurt the engine to use 95 on a bmw 318 i e90?
