Using pure 91 fuel

"Using pure 91 fuel"

Any advantage to using pure 91 fuel in my R53 ? Cost difference was + 7 cents per gallon.

Please post your thoughts and or facts why it should or should not be used.

Thanks much NAM members.

What do you call "pure"?
If you can get ethanol-free gas for only +7 cents, please send me a few tankers-full!
MINIs run best on mid or preferably top-range fuels from any decent gas station.
(Premium gas locally, MA, is currently $2.44).

Non ethanol gas. I'm sure that's what he inquiring about.

You get slightly better gas mileage. I was able to get a little over 34mpg in my F54S on a 250 mile trip from Ithaca NY to my home in Queens NY
