Edit: I didn’t want to make the post subject pedantic and need a [serious] tag, lol.

E2: ok, looks like a local hiccup for that station. Kinda on edge, there are going to be shortages. Just don’t know when. Gas here is hitting $4/gal at some stations. Mostly close to $3.90 at the rest. We were paying $2.65 when this started.

    What were they thinking bothering with a turbo on a PHEV!?

    The e motor could provide all the torque fills that a turbo has, and since it’s already there, all adding a turbo does is add weight and moving party’s to fail.

    I’ve sadly started to hate bmw for the last decade or so, and its choices like this that reinforce my opinions.

    That said, if it has a working knock sensor and you keep the rpm and loads down, the next lower octane shouldn’t result in anything but the motor pulling timing, and reduced power at high loads and rpm.
