Ethanol Free Gasoline 90 Octane

Antares713 · 08-04-2023, 11:09 PM

I have been using QT's no ethanol gas and I've seen gains of +65 horsepower and 55MPG......

HAHAHAH jk jk.

Is anyone else using this when you can? Thoughts?

A quote from JD power
"Non-ethanol gas or clear gas is a fuel type without any ethanol content, made only from petroleum, and free from renewable fuel additives. Due to the absence of ethanol in this fuel type, it offers a couple of advantages, including; improved gas mileage, reduced engine damage risk, and a shelf life of up to 6 months"

I started using it after I had an issue with fueling on my 2019 330i. I had been using mostly Exxon prem. and started running into an issue with stuttering, especially off throttle (ie when first applying throttle like coming off a stop or driving in a parking lot). Exxon is considered good fuel, but the fueling station I frequented always caused a fueling issue after filling up there. I switched to ethanol free and the problem went away after running the tank to empty and refiling it twice. Now, I primarily use ethanol free, but on occasion I'll use Shell prem.

Shell Premium in Nebraska is ethanol-free with an octane rating of 91. However, when I traveled to California, I noticed that their premium gasoline contains ethanol and has an octane rating of 93. This discrepancy now makes perfect sense to me.

Ah, the good gas. Too bad you can't get it in California.
