| Goodbye Octane 94 at husky :(
Was a sad day last week when I pulled into a Husky station. They had 91 stickers on top of all their 94 pumps and even the gas attendant didn't know. Emailed customer support and here's what I got 
Dear customer,
Thank you for your e-mail regarding our 94 Octane fuel. The discontinuation of our premium 94 Octane fuel comes as a result of changes to regulations that restrict the Reid Vapour Pressure (RVP) of gasoline. RVP measures the volatility of gasoline. In short, the addition of ethanol to gasoline adds to the overall RVP of the product.
For some time, Husky has received special allowance to produce and distribute our ethanol-blended 94 Octane gasoline; however, this allowance is no longer in place and as a result, our suppliers have chosen not to continue to provide Husky with our premium fuel.
The unfortunate outcome, as you've experienced, is that we can no longer provide our ethanol-blended premium fuel to our customers. Husky still supplies high-quality, ethanol-blended regular & mid-grade (87 & 89 Octane) and 91 Octane (no ethanol) fuel at most locations across the province.
We know this is a disappointment and for this, we apologize. We sincerely hope that you will continue to choose Husky and Mohawk for our other exceptional products and services, as well as for your refuelling needs.
Kind Regards,
Husky Customer Service

wait...there is one good thing mentioned in the post though..they say husky provides 91 octane with no ethanol..which means its better than the other gas stations that have 5% ethanol?
so all the cars that need mid grade gas can flock to husky now? haha
with the $2 coupon makes it a good deal!

Roughly how much does 10% ethanol (i.e. 87 octane) degrade fuel mileage?

Good to know that Husky/Mohawk 91 doesn't have ethanol though...

Crap, my parent's Mercedes in the owners manual says "Use only premium unleaded gasoline with a minimum Posted Octane Rating of 93 (average of 98 RON / 88 MON)."
lol

I've run just about every brand and every grade of gasoline in my car and I don't notice a lick of difference between 87 and 94. I just stick with 87.

They used to have signs that said up to 10% ethanol is added to their 91octane grades before 94 got cut. I didn't notice if that sign is gone now as I was running very low and ended up limping to the nearest Chevron. I blame tree huggers for phasing out performance fuel!

It still boosts strong, it still ran a low 14s 1/4 mile a while back. The LED I wired to my knock sensor doesn't light up, there's no engine codes, etc... I've had this car for over 10 years and the day I decided to try out 87 octane was the same day I realized I was throwing money away. Before that, I used nothing but Chevron 94. This is just my own experience tho.

Needs to be tuned further to actually USE the extra octane.
My car will burn the valves off if I use anything but 94 now.. ping ping ping!
