Esso Supreme +

[Sport-Tech]

I noticed today that the nearby Esso is now carrying 93 octane Supreme +. Has anyone found out if it's ethanol free? The pump has a sticker saying gas can contain up to 10% ethanol, but they don't specify per blend.

It has ethanol I googled it long ago as someone emailed Esso to confirm.

It has ethanol but I pump it anyway


car feels better after 2 years of Shell 91

BTW if you do big grocery buys at Loblaws or its affiliates: you now get a coupon for 2-12 cents/litre off your gas at Esso (varies with amount spent), coupon's on your receipt....

Which stations have 93? The Esso website doesn't let you search by fuel type...

Car feels better on 93 than it did after 2 years of using 91?

I'm on PetroU94 now, and I have to say, the car has less of a chance of studdering if I pull away with not enough throttle, and to me, the car pulls much harder when it comes on the power. I don't think it's plecebo because I rather collect Air miles, and the cost to me doesn't really matter, because I don't do enough driving. I basically drive hard twice per day on my 8km commute. I have a pretty good sense of what the car feels like at WOT, and to me, it feels better on the U94.

correct




and I will note that it feels better on Esso 93 than it did on Petro 94 for the few times that I used it when shell wasn't around.


which is why I stuck to Esso 93 after I gave it a try


also, no crickets

I get better mileage on Shell 91 than Petro 94, but it definitely makes a bit more power with 94. For commuting I run 91, for track/autox I only run 94.

Damn, I want this magical Esso juice to be available in Milton, the station is so close to me and we fill all the other cars there
The local Petro car wash is also terrible and the esso one 'decent' for an automatic touchless.

I'm no log reading expert so feed back would be nice but i decided to put the 91 tune on the car with the esso 93 then.

Next thing ill try once i run the 93 out of the car will be 94 and the 93 Tune again,

Just really trying to get a better idea of the gas we have around here now, since the 93 has only been around for a few months now, Anyone that can read logs and comment would be greatly appreciated

thanks

I just tried Esso 93 in my car. It generates the same sounds (crickets and some brupples) as Petro 94. Not sure about the performance benefits as well. I'll keep using it for now just for the aeroplan points, lol.

Where did you get a 93 tune for the OFT?
