[QUOTE="colebruno, post: 397246, member: 1881"] Accidentally filled RON 95 on me E39 when it was first launched - reason being the Shell petrol station near section 16 has not change the label in the pump. I immediately felt the car was sluggish and i actually thought there was something wrong with the car. After the tank was emptied, i refilled with Shell RON97 and viola, the power is back to normal. Still puzzled and went back to the same station in section 16 to check. KNN the particular pump was change to yellow colour now!!! No RON95 unless you want a "smooth & slow" ride. However i switched to RON95 for my Volvo 2.0T. Read the manual and it recommended RON95 and it was actually in the fuel cover. I always felt that the engine is too powerful on RON97. So with RON95, the ride was smoother and with sufficient power from the turbo! Hope this is useful. [/QUOTE]
