If a car is tuned for a certain RON grade, you are wasting your money putting a higher grade in. I just put normal 95 RON in my M340i as that is what it is tuned to produce most power at. You can put 91 RON in but with a marginal loss of power. 97/98 RON does not, however, increase power.

Costco AKI 91 has been used on my bimmers(currently on 3rd one) with zero issues for last 20 yrs, even before Costco became Top Tier.

I use Shell V-Power 98 RON (93 AKI equivalent) exclusively. My discount (roughly 50%) works at Shell or Esso but I go to Shell 99% of the time because they're on every street corner in the NL. LOL
