I went to fill up at CTC last night and they only had regular.
Today it's the same and gas buddy says lots of stations are the same.
What's up?
Can't drive the TT without it! (first world problems lol)

CTC = Canadian Tire?

Sunoco always has the good stuff.

Sure there are other gas station, just wondering what's up.
Within a 10 km radius of my work in Newmarket, 17 out of 25 gas stations are out.

We have 94 at Chevron here in BC, I just assumed it was the same all across Canada.

Why would Chevron 94 be preferable to Shell VMax 91 (no ethanol) for Porsche engines?

New Porsche engines can work with up to 10% ethanol, and prefer higher octane 93 and above. Older Porsche engines do not do well with ethanol, so Shell VMax with no ethanol is preferable (Shell VMax is the only gas in Canada without ETOH).

The engines are not the problem, its' the fuel lines that fall apart when sitting in an ethanol mix.
