V8/93 only

spyderbuddy · 02-12-2014, 08:40 PM

My v6 gets shell 93, it has from the day I got it.

I guess we are lucky to have Chevron 94 up here in Canada!

93 Shell V POWER. Pure gas, NO Ethanol!

Ethanol isn't terrible
It actually can help mitigate moisture out of your tank.

I use 94 with ethanol or 91 no ethanol

Cool, many stations within driving range ( for 93 have to go a few extra miles, but worth it)

Have any if you that still have a factory tune try using different octane's to see if you notice a difference? I may try some 92/93 next time I fill up on my V6 just to see if I can tell.

93/v6 shell only for me! helps the engine respond better. and also helps prevent knocking in the future

I've been using 93 (with ethanol, of course) since I bought the car. Found a Mobil station that has 90 with no ethanol. Would that be better than 93 with??
