David:

I have been running 100 octane Unocal 76 in both of the E34 M5's for quite a while. One station here in the bay area sells it at the pump. Downside, it is now 4.09/9 per gallon.

We went up to a Ranch in BC recently and I discovered they have 94 octane premium available instead of our measly 92 Octane. Unfortunately I wasn't driving Fred (the 850), we were driving Wilma (my wife's 98 Grand Cherokee 5.9, Barney is the S-10 pickup). The Jeep has pinged relentlessly since new and it was soooo nice to drive it without visions of ventliated pistons.

Too bad I live a bit too far from the border. Not only for the 94 Octane but there are also some beautiful drives through the mountains in British Columbia.
