93 octane called for - who sells? - Page 7 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just wanted to update on Shell vs Petro:

I have burned through an entire tank of 91 Shell and am on my second tank.

So far it appears that the noise has in fact gone away.

Again - not sure if its because of 0% ethanol or not but it seemed to have done the trick!

BTW: All Petro gas has up to 10% ethanol. They used to have 94 without Ethanol but started adding it a couple years back.

In the original chirping thread someone mentioned that even though by switching to Shell VPower 91 with no ethanol eliminates the sound, the sound re-appear once he rev higher than 4K RPM several times. Have you tried this as well to confirm this?

Thanks.

I put in Shell V-power 91, and i find the engine runs alot smoother, and also for some reason quieter. My last tanke i ran Petro 91, and the engine was quite loud for some reason. So i don't know, for now i will be running shell V-power 91, if not i might go 94 with petro Canada.

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

Selvedge · 07-23-2012, 09:47 PM

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?

rL-gT · 07-23-2012, 11:18 PM

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, 11:23 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*
