I use either Petro Canada Ultra94 with 10% crickets, or Shell V-Power 91 which has no ethanol in my area.

I wouldn't use E85 stock or otherwise without being tuned for it.

California 91

I like to only use Shell, although when I got the car it came with a free tank of gas and on the road trip back I filled with Chevron once. But now that I'm able to, Shell will be my choice

I suspected as much. It's exciting to know there's actually one nearby now though. One day...

I meant to say, what is the lowest grade can we use. Will there be a major difference if we use a lower grade?

91 octane would be the lowest octane you would want to use.

Not to belittle the significance/impact of that disaster, but the Gulf is perfectly fine and has been for the last few years. The spill didn't cause any long term negative environmental impacts. The Gulf of Mexico is naturally a bit oily, as lots of oil seeps (naturally) out of the sea bed all on it's own every day. An amount equal to 2 Exxon Valdez spills a year seeps from the sea bed. Either way, the Gulf bounced back considerably faster than the environmental fear mongers said it would.

Getting back OT, I try to just Shell V-Power 93 octane as much as possible. However I will also fill up at Exxon & BP.

BTW while almost all pumps say "Contains up to 10% ethanol" in reality most of the time it's just 2-3% ethanol.
