I would take it with a grain of salt, many of these support people have no idea what the real answer is. Who knows if it even went to a real person it could have been answered by some automated response triggered by keywords.

That may be true but when I wrote Shell about Vpower in Ontario they told me specifically that it contains no ethanol. at least shell's CSR's is well informed. I also like how shell states it on their pumps (there's a sticker):

I'm not a Shell customer so I have never seen the sticker that you posted. In my opinion, that is awesome marketing and information for the customer. Clear and concise.

The problem is others (notably Husky) do not do this with their products - online or at the pumps.

So, one more time...

I read (and will post once found...) the memo that states B.C. and Ontario are ethanol-free with regards to the 91 blend at Husky.

What are the fellow Turbo owners doing? I've got a flash and wonder if 91 would be ok/safe?

passion911

I'm convinced. Moving away from Ultra 94.

jasonintoronto

Yup! It's a great sticker. On every pump downtown that I know of.

Jaak Lepson

I remember that most 91 is ethanol free but it depended on the dealer. Some have the sticker placed under the 87 pump and not the 91. Since Shell does state it clearly, this would be the way to go.

Other Turbo owners at my friends shop do use Shell 91 with no issues.

Still undecided myself, how does it jive with the min 93 octane requirement?

I've been asking some tuners and veteran 996tt guys and it seems that the higher octane is preferable for turbo porsches. The better of the 2 evils. Hope this helps

jasonintoronto

There's two numbers RON and something else. 91 is correct for all stock 997.

The No ethanol stickers are on the Shell pumps in Greater Vancouver also.

I started out using Shell's 91 in my '04 TT Cab but within 3 or 4 tanks starting throwing codes. I took it back to the dealer for the reset. When the technician asked what fuel and I indicated Shell 91 he immediately advised Chevron 94 is required. No codes since. Chevron is the only one in BC I can find with anything over 91.

More information on Husky 91 octane product.

You have options people!

Good to know. Not a lot of Husky stations in the Toronto area, but I will keep this in mind when on road trips. Thanks.

+1 useful to know about Husky.

993tt manual says 91 is fine. Is that Husky 94 corn syrup free?
