Supposedly Chevron is starting to put ethanol in their fuel now, fuckers. As far as Husky's advertising higher octane for the same price remember that ethanol does have a higher octane rating but actually contains less BTU's of energy than pure gasoline so your gas mileage will suffer using it. -
I heard that chevron was still running 100% petrol (minus their techron additives, shit ethanol is probably in that!)? Is this not right?Leave a comment:

I'd use the highest grade available unless you're at sunoco or something and they're selling 100 octane race gas for $7 per gallon.Leave a comment:

Oh really? As far as I know anyways in Canada you don't need ethanol. Usually at the pump you see 87, 89, and 91. I was told that since my 91 318is has a 10:1 compression ratio it needs premium to prevent knocks and shit, so usually I run 91, except now the place by my house got new pumps and are using ethanol I guess.Leave a comment:

all gas has Ethanol in it, up to 10% by law. Shit you are a newfy ( I ked ked) I dont know what your laws are on that. Thats how it is in the states.
You dont need to run anything more than 87 when running Bone stock non chipped. If you are running a 93 octane chip, anything more than will not hurt it at all.Leave a comment:

Weird Octane Levels?
Okay, so I'm just wondering if anyone can give me advice on which gas to use. I know normally I would just use 91 octane, however the gas station by my house blends their gas with ethanol, so the octane levels are a bit higher. They offer 90, 92, and 94. I asked the attendant today if she knew and she handed me a pamphlet:
90: Mid grade blended with ethanol
92: Premium, blended with ethanol
94: Premium plus blended with ethanol
If I get a MarkD chip that requires 93 octane then wtf. Will the 94 work with a 93 octane MarkD chip? And without the chip what should I run, I have 94 in there right now and it seems to run as usual.
