i filled up last night chevron victoria and 36th and saw no sticker when i filled up

sonick 01-27-2010 09:36 PM

Filled up at the Willingdon and Hastings with no stickers... weird.

Wow fuck that. I was wondering why I only got 300km a tank when I usually get 350km/tank.

BULLSHIT

so you're saying if I alternate between chevron and shell for my fill-ups, my engine would be better off than just staying with chevron?

Yeah, but Esso has no cool additives. All they've got is a non-talking Tony the Tiger mascot. :haha:


Nope your getting less than a litre. I have had to replace gas pump hose a few times and there was less than a litre in I would say around 500 ml or less .
Esso has the additive super awesome 9000 but doesn't like t o brag.:p

I remember when shell switched to V-power. people thought it was a new gas formula and it had a a bunch of ne additives in it but it was the same old gas and they changed the name so it would have the same name as other shells around the world.

^ Octane rating = a measure of how "slowly" a fuel burns.

Octane rating and energy density are 2 totally different things.

spoon.ek9 09-18-2010 09:36 AM

no way...... that better be a mistake.

PK-EK 09-18-2010 09:36 AM

i worked at the one on Cambie and Gardencity for a short period of time and to this day 94 is no ethanol
i think it might be the one on Imperial just fucked up on putting the sticker on
just kids that work there anyway... just like me :D

tuned for 94 FTW!!!

!e.lo_ 09-18-2010 11:38 AM

No... Not exactly...

Think of it as using different toothpaste. Just because you switch it up every once in a while, it doesn't mean you get better results.

I switch it up every once in a while between chevron's 94 and Shell's 91 but that's because I gas it whenever it is convenient.

crazyazn 09-19-2010 12:13 AM

I just filled up at Chevron on 16th & MacDonald...the sticker for 94 said "Contains NO ethanol"

PK-EK 09-20-2010 09:10 AM

You mean 2009? Otherwise...would you mind telling me the next set of 649 winning numbers? :D

PK-EK 09-20-2010 10:28 AM

:D
thats still winter according the calendar

Shun Izaki 09-20-2010 10:38 AM

wow wtf, that's a mistake.

Good thing all my chevrons are beside the refinery.. mmm..mmm 94.

bcrdukes 05-04-2011 05:01 PM

Yes, I know. Year old thread.

Just wondering because it's been over a year. Has anybody filled up at Shell recently? If so, is Shell 91 ethanol free or does it contain a small percentage? There were some mixed answers in this thread.

Thanks

teaoh 05-04-2011 05:16 PM

I filled up at Shell this morning on Knight and 41st. I remember it saying 91 contains no ethanol

LiquidTurbo 05-04-2011 05:17 PM

So why is everyone so scared of ethanol?

bcrdukes 05-04-2011 05:20 PM

My car runs like shit on ethanol blends.

I would have been better off buying a 1986 Dodge Aries.

Eff-1 05-04-2011 08:38 PM

I switched to Shell a year ago. No ethanol in the 91.

Harvey Specter 05-04-2011 10:09 PM

I always put Chevron 94 in my Audi/BMW. I've noticed in my A5 that when I put a lower grade it gets sluggish, hard to explain but the dealer did say that it's best to put 94.

Lower fuel economy, may cause issues such as the ones described, and has a tendency to corrode/dry out rubber and plastic more quickly.
