Moving to Northern Ontario, Only 91 Octane available
FRS... She needs PREMIUM
 I know the it is recommended that I use 93 or higher octane grade, but Thunder Bay Ontario, where I got a job offer from, does not have anything better than 91 Octane. Does anybody have any insight if the power loss from using a lower grade fuel will be noticeable? Anybody tried running dyno using 91 octane? I think I am stuck with no options but to use 91 Octane... does anyone know which gas station I should fill up from? I did a little research and it seems like people recommend Shell because it's 91 Octane with no additives. Any advices or insights are appreciated. Thanks! |

here in colorado, the best choice we have is 91 and none of our members feel it hurt anything. Our cars still run great.
good luck on your new job

91 should be fine. However, if you really want you can go with meth injection.

If you can find 91 no ethanol I would go that route. Have been happy with it. No crickets. If I have to use the mix I do hear the chirps.

I only use Shell 91 anyway, Ultra 94 is terrible for gas mileage and crickets.

Avoid Shell, I've had a lot of problems with it. Mobil is what I go with now.
91 is not going to hurt the car. |
