[QUOTE="splee, post: 721523, member: 31547"] Thanks for sharing with us your experience on using Ron 95 and Ron 97 alternately. I am surprise that the OBD shows a different mileage between 95 and 97. I used to think the same way as you. Since I am paying tax, I should utilise the fuel subsidy given for 95. However, after some deep thinking, I decided to pump 97 all the way. Why? Because there's nothing you can do about the tax that you have paid. It's a sunk cost. Why compromise on your joy and satisfaction just because you felt lose out for paying so much tax. I feel that the enjoyment and satisfaction that I get from a more responsive engine and better power far outweighs the additional cost that I have to pay. I have calculated. Based on my mileage of about 30k km per annum, I have to pay an additional of about $2300 per year. This works out to be less than $200 per month. Can I afford this? Yes I can. And from then on I never look back. Just enjoy the drive like it should be from a BMW. [/QUOTE]
