Costco has 91, no ethanol

I could be wrong, but I'm not sure if Shell 91 in BC has ethanol or not. Last I remember, it does not, but that was at least 4 years ago.

No luck on ethanol-free 87 octane to my knowledge.

Shell 91 has no ethanol anywhere in Canada. They say it right on their website.

Chevron 94 is also ethanol-free in BC.

Husky 91 is ethanol-free. You can get 87 that is ethanol-free in Calgary.

Canadian Tire implies that their 91 is ethanol-free, but doesn't explicitly state it.

Other than Co-op 91, Shell 91 and Chevron 94, I don't really know any gas that doesn't have ethanol.

Not that it matters for an average family car, really.

IMO if you're buying 87 you probably don't need to worry about the performance loss (or whatever) caused by ethanol LUL

E10 is probably better for maintenance if the engine is GDI

i only care about E0 if it's barely driven or being stored and designed last century

Man you guys all driving Veyrons or something? I put anything in both my cars.

Most luxury brands and turbocharged cars require premium. My Honda Civic and, previously, my BMW 325 were certainly not supercars.

Do most people drive their cars hard enough to need 91? I just toss in 87 for my N/A motor. I'm not going to miss 20hp, 400hp is still plenty... lol

Yeah, but not brands. If it says 91, it's going in the tank.

likely taking a mpg hit too
if it's high compression give it what it wants

Yes... I bought a 5.0L V8 because I'm concerned with MPG... The manual says you can run it on 87 minimum, you just won't get full power out of it. Most drivers never need full power unless they're the type to floor it off every light. Modern cars can compensate for the type of fuel you put in.

saving $10-15 per fill
not concerned about mpg
:suspicious:

It's not worth it to me, I don't notice any measurable increase in MPG using 91 the way I drive.

I floor my SS quite a bit, or at least drive it hard. It's not like I will crash into the crowd like a certain Ford when I floor it. :troll:

Manual says 93 recommended while 87 is fine. I use Petro-Canada 94 since I am in Alberta now. In BC I will probably use Chevron 94, though I wouldn't be too concerned with any 91 if that's not an option.

I think the pump at Husky stations say their 91 gas still contains ethanol, even though their webpage says otherwise.

I have no idea who is right.

Ethanol is bad for seals..... soooooo i've heard

Good thing my 5.0 has AWD... LOL

That's for old cars. Modern cars are designed to run up to 10% ethanol. Flex fuel cars are designed to run E85.

I find that it's arguable, but based on anecdotal (emphasis on anecdotal!) a colleague of mine ran 87 Husky gas almost exclusively on his 2015 Civic (it's on his daily commute home, so why not?) One day, his Civic just gave up with CEL popping up on the dashboard, and wouldn't start anymore. Towed to Honda dealer and did a diagnostic. Kept the car for about a week, and turns out the fuel injector seals were shot due to the fuel.

Was this a unique situation? Bullshit? Dealer trying to make my colleague buy a a new car? I don't know. But that was the official diagnostic on behalf of the dealer, including Honda Canada's regional technical manager.

But all 87 fuels are E10 in BC. Most of the cars on the road use them, so a single oddball incident doesn't really say much.

Sorry, should have clarified, and not that it matters a whole lot, but this was in Ontario.

Bad for plastics and rubber, and absorbs more water.

I use nothing but ethanol free for some things, others I'm not picky. What are you gassing up?
