[MBZ] uh oh Oil Thread

I had to get my oil changed on my BMW. There is a small shop down the street from my office and I know the Manager. His wife is a lawyer and he had a good reputation. He has worked on all of my cars and always treated me well. So, he has done the last several oil changes on both my cars and

My parents were married in 1968. On their first date they were in Germany. My father was in the army (US) and my mother was a nurse. She and her friend decided to travel Europe working as civilian nurses for a few years after graduating from nursing school. She and her friend met a couple of

Re: [MBZ] Fuel Mileage Premium v. Regular Experiment

That is assuming the car was designed for premium. I think that if the manufacturer just calls for 87 octane, there is no benefit to using premium. Isn't that correct? Don Snook -Original Message- From: Peter Frederick [mailto:psf...@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2017 5

OR take him to the Spam Museum in Austin Minnesota. You could take a trip up to Iowa and see some list members and then go on North to Austin. I had a summer job in Iowa in 1993. If anyone was around the area during that time, you might remember the 1993 Floods! I had to retreat to Austin

[MBZ] Fuel Mileage Premium v. Regular Experiment

I decided to try an experiment on fuel mileage on my BMW. I have had to travel a lot lately and thought a (admittedly unsophisticated) experiment might be interesting. My car is a 1999 BMW 740iL. It is a big heavy car and I have been consistently surprised by the fuel mileage. In the last w
