Fuel type in your Australian BMW

Hi guys, just wondering what fuel type you are using in your BMW (X5 or others)?
I was using 98ron but I don't the advantage is there and my 2001 X5 purrs just fine on the E91+ from BP (I only use BP)
Let me know what you use...
On my X5 using 91+ fuel it costs me $0.263 per km to drive. With 98, its $0.291 per km.
Its a $672 different per year for me...I do about 24,000 kms per year.

I'm pretty confident most Aussie X5 owners are burning oil. :

I could be wrong.

Yeah, you forgot diesel on your poll. And given the choice, my first preference is the Vortex Diesel from Caltex.

But my weekend car (MX5 SP), I use 98 octane fuel only. First preference is the Shell V-Power, followed by BP Ultimate.

I avoid ethanol mix fuels at all cost (false economy).
