Yes, Pakistani fuel quality can affect the fuel economy and performance of the BMW 2 Series. BMW engines, particularly the TwinPower Turbo engines, are designed to run on high-octane fuel RON 95 o r higher. However, in Pakistan:

Most fuel stations offer RON 92 o r lower, which can lead to engine knocking, reduced power, and lower fuel efficiency.
Using high-octane petrol available at select PSO, Shell, and Total stations can improve mileage and performance.
Low-quality fuel with impurities may clog fuel injectors and reduce efficiency over time.
BMW owners in Pakistan should use high-octane fuel whenever possible to maintain optimal fuel economy and engine health.
