[QUOTE=imaginemini]Gas is getting pretty pricy. I'm planning to buy a MC, not an S. I understand that Mini Cooper "recommends" premium fuel. Do I really have to fuel with premium gasoline? YES.

I've been using Sunoco 93 octane since the very first fill-up. My MC loves me for it, and pays me back in spades with her incredibly smooth, powerful performance. Give your Mini the best, she's worth every penny!
