I have read and heard from my dealer that the available hp varies on the new models dependant on the engine computers "read" on octane level in the tank

Sunoco is the only brand I know of at least up here with 94 octane --Esso/Shell, Petro Can are all 91 or92 max in their high test--I know there are octane addatives--have two bottles in the garage but have never used yet as I try always to stay with the Sunoco 94-

-I have had my 4.4/X5 Dinan chipped and was told by the dealer to stay with the Sunoco if I could to maximize the chip's capabilities JP


I try to be very careful about the quality of fuel I put in my X5. But as far as I know there is only one oil refinery in my local area. Is it possible that this same refinery converts oil to gasoline for Shell, Exxon, Mobil, Chevron, Rotten Robby, and USA Gasoline. In that case its all the same.
