JCW Gas for 2011 JCW

Get the highest octane available in your area, 92 octane is the highest in my state.
The cars computer will retard the ignition to allow it to run fine on lower octane fuel, but there is a noticeable reduction in horsepower.
I drove a Cooper S that was just like mine except it had a tankful of regular instead of premium, it just didn't have the pep that mine has.

Use the highest grade you can, no less than 91. Reason for this is should you have any problems with your Mini, you won't give them an excuse to refuse warranty work. Look at it another way 20 cents a gallon more for your 13 gal tank is only 2.60 which is minimal compared to a eng rebuild.

Where to you live that ethanol is not used? All gas sold here in Texas has it, and I don't recall seeing any without in any of my out of state trips the last few years. Ethanol, whether good or bad, is here to stay.

Ethanol free gas can still be found, but it's getting more difficult and it's usually not in heavily populated metropolitan areas. At least not in Texas where I live.
Here's a good site to find out if there's any near you:
