I believe they are 20% or 35% all the way around. I have pics but I am having issues posting pics in a reply without having to start a whole new thread lol. Any advice?

Here's a thread that has some good secondary links too.

I'd also recommend E10 or less if you can find it. BMW says no E15.

I have used the 10% ethynol for over 30 years with absolutely no problems. I know that some gasoline distributors have increased their percentages at times, but still I have had no problems. The 15%, I don't know about, but from what I have heard the only cars that are suppose to use that are the alternative fuel rated vehicles. E-85 type vehicles. It would be a benefit for them, as the E-85 does cut mileage down to about 70%.

I'll be using 91 octane 10% when I start buying gas for my JCW.
