did anyone try esso? it has good reward program, but I don't know is their gas compatible with the twin.

At Shell stations, there are two pumps, one that has the three grades, 91 V-Power being one of them. And one that is just 91 V-Power. Is there a difference between the two 91 V-Powers?

The dedicated V-Power one gives you wings...

No difference, the one with 3 grades is just a blender pump.

The combo pump is molested by all the 'common people'. The V-Power dedicated on is always in fantastic shape and pumps fast and smooth.

And it is confirmed that this is 93 AKI/98 RON since in Japan 98 RON is fairly common.

The Petro Canada by my house sells 94 now, so happy. I'm in Calgary though.

Has well ill let get the quote from petro Canada but

There 87= 10% ethanol
There 89 = 5% ethanol
There 91 = 0% ethanol
There 94= 10% ethanol

I know that they use ethanol in the 94 works has a octane booster but still kind of strange

Thanks for the video, it was very informative! =D

Just coming back to report, I'm up over the 1600km break-in period, and have solely used Shell V-Power 91 for every fill-up so far, and everything seems to be great!

s2kdrew · 07-25-2012, 10:23 AM

OMG how do you guy get so low, I have almost 900km with 6MT and my average is 11.2L/100km according to the computer.

pretty sure how you drive directly impacts your consumption...
I'm at 8.6 and have been there for 2 weeks now (had the car for 3 weeks)

I also just passed 1600 km and am starting to open her up a bit more, and have also only used shell91 and have had no problems *knocks on wood*

I'm getting 8.5L/100km and i'm close to 800km, i usually shift up at 2500rpm to save fuel. I'm running on Shell V power 91.

wow 6.0 thats wicked. Oh btw does your Average update on its own? mine keeps staying at the same number all the time lol.

RoryTate · 07-25-2012, 11:58 AM

The average does update. I've been watching it fall from 6.2 to 6.1 to 6.0 on the highway (mind you I did put over 800km on it on the same trip).

Yup it does constantly change. I'm going to a Bach party next month to ottawa, will try to keep it 100 km and see if I can get 700 on one tank of gas.

Dude 800, I hope I can match or beat it

Rossman · 07-25-2012, 07:19 PM

I'm at around 8.1 and it's dropping steadily. Feel like, I get about as good mileage and range as my Versa, which is really convenient....similiar 6spd notchy tranny, same reverse mechanism, and same range....love it, very convenient for planning trips.

s2kdrew · 07-25-2012, 11:39 PM

I usually shift between 3-4k since I find shifting at 2500 the car don't want to move. Maybe I am used to shift at high RPM with my S2000.

Thats why your avg is so high, you shouldnt be touching 4k during break in lol.

That depends largely on which break-in methodology/gospel/faith you subscribe to.

Touchy subject, but different strokes for different folks.
