Moving to Northern Ontario, Only 91 Octane available
 
FRS... She needs PREMIUM :burnrubber:

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 :D

I was running petro canada 94 they ran out. Switched to shell 91. I have not noticed any lack of power

91 is all thats in california too, as stated above. expect your crickets to get louder tho.

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

I was expecting them. But with shells 91 I did not. I believe there is no ethonal in their premium perhaps that helps?

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.

There's a thread somewhere about gas brands and results. Consensus? Each brand of gas is irrelevant. It's up to the actual station to maintain the quality of the gas they buy.

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

FRiSson 05-13-2013 04:42 PM

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.

I'm running 91 from Sams Club =X
