Petro Canada Ultra 94. Yea or nay?

cooltoy · 07-14-2015, 08:20 PM

I have always been using Shell because it has no ethanol.

Somewhat intrigued by PC's 94 octane fuel, but it has 10% ethanol. Not sure I like the idea of ethanol.

Comments? Thoughts?

Thank you.

Shell is what octane? (Also, how is octane calculated in Canadia?)

And I'd rather go no ethanol for NA

Shell is 91 which = 10025 in US.

I've used both but can't tell the difference... Sorry lol

cooltoy · 07-14-2015, 08:36 PM

In that case it's not worse it.

DEpointfive0 · 07-14-2015, 09:09 PM

Ethanol is worse, lol

You might not notice it, but it's worse

I run PetroCan Ultra 94.

Shell has no Ethanol at all or just in Canada?

This is probably a Canadia thing

SOME gas stations in the US have 91 no ethanol and 93 with E10, but you're in CA, it's all E10 lol

My understanding ,as told by a Petro Canada refinery employee is the 94 octane at Petro Can is supplied by Chevron.Now the Chevron stations do not have any ethanol in their 94 Octane.Only in 91 and lower and not always ,only when ethanol is available.

I watched a documentary on gas, apparently Ethanol will give you less mileage.

Basically 100% ethanol vs 100% gasoline, ethanol car travels 300km and gasoline car travels 500km, something similar to that.

Shell 91 V power Nitro is what I find lasts longer. 94 oct is for more power but you wont get as far as Shell V power.

There's your info, choose which suites you best. Last longer or more power :/

I can only speak for here, but it is only Shell V-Power NiTRO+ (91) that has no ethanol. The mid-grade and regular have ethanol.
