Which gas station did you get your FRS/BRZ refilled in Calgary?

Just curious where in Calgary do you guys get your FRS/BRZ refill at?
Since it recommend Octane 93+, I have mine refill at Husky at Dalhousie

around 8.5-9.0 L/100km. But it really depends on your driving habit.

I did my first real fill-up at Husky on Macloed.

With my previous Lancer, I filled at Shell since it really only needed 91. But since this suggests 93 I decided to go with Husky. My brother has been using Husky in his Ralliart, and now his new Evo and hasn't had any issues.

I can't see why not to use Husky.

I use Esso 91. All 93 octane gas in Calgary is just lower grade gas with ethanol (and sometimes other nasty shit) added. In BC I use Chevron 94. 91 won't hurt the engine and is still recommended by the manual.

We are at 3500 feet. That's why we don't have non-ethanol premium. 91 from Shell is fine (and best choice IMO)

If you go to Vancouver get 94 from Chevron.

Maybe I will try a tank of Shell 91 and see how it goes. Especially if the reason that Husky is 94 because of ethanol, might be best.

In Vancouver, would Shell 91 be ok or would you still recommend Chevron 94?

My uncle owns shell gas stations , I have been around shell for like 8 years , their gas has always got me the most mileage , I filled up at superstore one time only 20$ and it barely got me 140km , at shell I would get easy 200.

im also sticking with Shell, also for the reason that Non ethanol gas is your best bet in reducing carbon build up as well with the Direct Injection system. Same deal with all the Lexus guys

Superstore gas likely has ethanol, which reduces mileage. With ethanol they are essentially giving you 10% less gas but charge you the same as if it were 100% gas.
