In Canada I use Shell VPower Gas whenever possible, The lower Octane grade use upto 10% Ethenol. Ethenol and BMW's not a good mix. I went from 480KM/55L to 550KM/55L that completly evens out the extra cost and its better for the car and it's performance.

So 91 octane shell still ethanol free? because thats what i usually use but i hear now they have to include 10% ethanol because of regulations. So if thats the case might as well opt for 94 octane since it has 10% ethanol but im assuming performance will be slightly better since it is after all 3 higher.

Out in Southern California, there are certain gas stations that carry 100 octane Racing Gas, but at a higher fee. $9.00 + U.S Dollars / Gallon roughly

From my house, about 30 miles or so any direction I can find some of these . I usually use a mixture and add in 6 gallons or so and feel a immediate difference in power (In a good way of course)

I am guessing in Canada they do not have racing fuel offered at any of your stations ?
No they do not and i highly doubt they will anytime soon, unless of course you go to the track im sure youll be able to get it there but i can just imagine the price per litre
