For my car (2018 Civic Si), Chevron 94 runs better than Shell 91.
I run an E10 blend with a fairly aggressive OTS tune (24.5 psi + ~30 deg. adv. timing) and monitor stuff daily.

Even blended with ethanol, my car detects minor knock on Shell 91 while my car warms up; it never does that on Chevron 94. That knock goes away once warm though.

Here's how I rank gas in the lower mainland for my car (determined by knock readings):
Chevron 94 E10 blend > Shell 91 E10 blend > Washington Shell 92 > Co-op E10 blend > Chevron 94 > Shell 91 > Costco 91 >> Petro 91 (car hated this stuff, possibly bad gas)

As already stated, Chevron 94 can be inconsistent. It seems like 1/5 tanks isn't as knock resistant as the others.

If cats always land on their feet, and toast always lands butter side down, what would happen if you strapped burnt toast to the back of a cat and dropped it?
