I fill up with 94 at the Sunoco at Winston Churchill and Collegeway ... just a little south of the 403 (sounds like there are a few of us out that way) - no problems, although the Targa is still hibernating so far this year ... soon, very soon

Wrote a brochure for the govt last year on the ethanol introduction. Just to be clear, 10% is by volume at the station. It means the 87 could have 14% and 91 has 0%. Overall, 10% of all the fuel they pump, must have 10% ethanol. Shell 91 here I come.

Porsche recommended. Best I have found with the Turbo!
Just look at the pumps closely next time you fill up. Usually there is a listing of their Ethanol content per grade of gas. I have not see a number on Petro- Canada, just noticed Shell & Sunoco.
Don't know about Esso (they are no longer dirty; gov. regs) as they have not interested me.

RyeHigh - if Shell can substantiate what others are saying here that Shell 91 doesn't add ethanol, then it could be better than PC. I also think because most if not all stations are privately owned (franchised) the degree of quality between stations can vary considerably. In our (Pickering) neck of the woods, I've had pretty goodluck with the Shell at Kingston & Whites.

p.s. have you been out yet?
p.s.s. I just got my front hood redone (deep stone chip) during March break.....washed her on Saturday and noticed a new one ....not as deep, so hopefully this one can get touched up with no issues

^ your car doesn't live at the track...any 91 octane and up will be just fine. you might see another mpg or 2 from going to shell without ethanol. but its not something to loose sleep over. i've put esso 91, sunoco 91, shell 91, BP and husky into Coors and he's never run poorly.
