BMW recommends Shell gas, but it's more expensive than other brands

It's too bad there are very few service stations anymore that serve up non-ethanol fuels. There are only 2 that I am aware of in Cinci and if I'm in the area on the motorcycle, I will fill up there. I used to get it for the lawnmower and small engine needs since they are more sensitive to the ethanol but it's just become a pain to do.

Same, never had a single issue. 87 octane for my DD is down to $2.20 at my local Kroger.
