FOR E10(husky/mohawk) fuel economy suffers by around 2-7%. http://feerc.ornl.gov/pdfs/pub_int_b...t1_updated.pdf
Drive put the three fuels to the test, driving three identical Toyota Camrys more than 2000 kilometres in a range of conditions to see which fuel drives your dollar further.
The E10-fuelled Camry in the test cost $276.55 to run, while the regular unleaded version cost $271.56 and the premium unleaded fuel version, which cost, on average, 15 cents a litre more than E10, cost $285.54.
The car running on premium unleaded consumed 9.06 litres/ 100km, compared with 9.41L/100km for the regular unleaded car and 9.81 litres for the E10 vehicle. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news...585154588.html | |

I use Husky/Mohawk and don't notice anything wrong. I do get worse mileage but that's cuz my car runs better on the stuff and I tend to drive it harder. Gas is gas, it all comes from the same few refineries out in Burnaby.

^ Petro Canada, Mohawk, Shell. Most pumps offer 94 but they are refined by Chevron anyway.

Shell has never, and does not, sell 94 octane.
Petro-Canada used to, but now it's only at select pumps.

Chrevron is always the best!!! If you want cheap gas, go to Husky. The price of 87 regular but you get 90 octane. And their gas comes from the same refinery as Chevron

Empty pumps at some Lower Mainland gas stations
Refinery problem in Alberta leading to some shortages
Sheila Scott COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) 2009-10-22 16:02
COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) - If the price of gas wasn't enough to make you mad at the pump, this morning many drivers in parts of the Lower Mainland discovered the hard way that a gas shortage is now spreading to B.C.$ And empty pumps will likely become more common at gas stations over the next few weeks.
It was a frustrating morning for many people looking to buy gas in Coquitlam.$ One called us to report on the empty pumps.$ "All pumps have signs on them, 'sorry for the inconvenience', we have no gas."
And it's likely going to get worse. Jeff Gabert with Shell Canada says routine maintenance at an oil refinery in Alberta has gone on longer than expected, and the effect of that is now being felt.$ "And that's resulted in a temporary shortage of gasoline, throughout Alberta, into B.C. and we'll be seeing it in Saskatchewan as well."
Gabert says there is a plus-side to the shortage: If a station is out of 'regular' fuel, it may sell higher grade gasolines that are in stock at the regular price.$ It isn't known just how long the shortage will last. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Just got some gas @ Shell tonight and i saw this sticker on the pump:
Bronze contains up to 10% ethanol
Silver contains up to 5% ethanol
V-Power contains NO ethanol
I wonder what the ethanol concentrations are for other gas stations...

I've been filling up on Petrocan lately, and now I'm starting to wonder why people say Chevron is better. Can someone fill me in on why?
Btw, only Mohawk I know of is like 10 minutes from my house, and the place is a dump lol.

I think it has more to do with consistency of the product (they are probably the largest reseller) and status of their facilities.
Techron / toluene actual benefits is not that big these days, especially when cars starting to use higher gas pressure and DI.
For best type of gas. I think it is better to time when to get gas (ie you want when the underground tank is full but haven't been disturbed).. rather than the brand of gas. In fact, being consistent with one manufacturer is probably more beneficial on the long run, since then you can tell if anything is wrong between batches of gas. Quote:
