Anyone using this fuel? If so, how’s the performance and what is the most mileage you’ve seen on a full tank? I’ve read as long as you use BMW’s recommended Octane, it’s Okay?🤷🏾

What do you mean by non ethanol fuel? I think these cars are designed to work with gasoline that has no ethanol, and those with ethanol up to a limit. So the issue is not the lack of ethanol but how much can be tolerated. But I'm not an engineer, so maybe somebody can chime in.

As others have stated; the only problem would be TOO MUCH ethanol.
Your car would love the taste of non-ethanol fuel. Expect more power and slightly better fuel economy. |

Regarding the question above about range, I just completed a 1200-mile trip up and down I-95. After one 500-mile leg, between 70-85 mph, upon fill-up, the car estimated 564 miles available.

I Finally had a change to refuel completely with non-ethanol 91 octane and the efficiency is outstanding.
