* State: TX
* City: Dallas, plano, allen
* Station: Shell, Chevron , kroger (e85)
* Octane: 93 only
* Why: shell is close to my house combined with kroger reward points for a 10 cent discount compounded with my credit card's 5% discount. kroger added to list for e85 reasons.

Alberta Guys & Gals: I just came from fueling my truck @ Petro Canada & noticed they now have 94 Ultra. I am in Edmonton. I guess we now have a choice other than ethanol blended Husky. It didn't say it was blended with ethanol anyway. I am tuned on Husky 94, but I am gonna try the 94 Ultra next fill up in my x. Sorry if its already been mentioned as I didn't read every page of this thread. I am just happy that more options are available to us here in Alberta.

shell v power simply because they are always the most expensive. ive been reading more into it and everyone says it doesnt matter what station you go to to because they all use the same blends, is this true?

No. The gasoline and ethanol itself could possibly be the same (depending on refineries, blenders, etc.), but the additive packages do greatly differ. The additive package is why Shell is generally a bit more expensive than others.

All the Shell near me don't use ethanol for 89 and up octane, but that could be because I'm on top of the lake...

* State: New Jersey
* City: Hamilton
* Station: BP
* Octane: 93
* Why: Well in 2006 they had a promo setup at a Formula D NJ Wall Speedway. They had a GTO setup with one side of the heads useing leading brand Gas Vs BP 93 and they had been running the two setups for 60k miles and had a scope of inside of the valves one was pretty Nasty and one was not. Gimic maybe but since that day I have only been useing BP Gas since
