Question What fuel do you use ?

Not much out there for high performance cars.
Sunoco 94 or Shell V- Power ?
I know that Sunoco puts a lot of sponsorship things into racing but.
What are you using ?

Lots of good technical discussion on here - have a look if you want the details. Cliff notes: Shell 91, no ethanol, best fuel for a high-performance car. Sunoco has 15% ethanol in the 94. Cars run on dead dinosaurs, not corn.

We have a Petro Canada near the track at Mont Tremblant and an independant station in the village,they both sell 94 octane which most people with 93 octane DME chips use for track days ...

I usually fill up with 94 on track days anyways as it costs the same as 91 octane in town !

Cheers !

Yup, unless you can find 94 without ethanol.
