Shell VPower for no ethanol.
Chevron 94 and Esso Premium are also ethanol free. http://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp |

There's a MacEwen's on Bank St. in Ottawa that has e85. I pass by every week on my way to hockey and put some in for extra ethanol. They're rebuilding the MacEwen's near my house just off the 416 and I hope they put an e85 pump in there.

Ill take whichever top tier gas can offer the most octane, i just decide to stick to petro over esso. Our fuel systems are ok with quite a bit of ethanol, and it also burns cooler. Im just speaking from a performance/go-fast perspective, but our engines are also direct injected, meaning all that cleaner valve stuff that V-Power sells doesnt get to do its part since the fuel isnt injected via port, but rather directly into the cylinder. If i wasnt tuned, i would also be pumping shell. |

Ethanol is less energy dense than gasoline, so in theory you should get better MPG with pure gas. I also take issue with using up farmland and fresh water in order to make substandard fuel.

Petro, mostly because I get 12c off per litre (10c discount card, plus 2c with Petro MasterCard), PLUS you earn Petro points (which can be used for additional 10c savings cards or car washes).

Petro or Shell, depending on which is closer and/or cheaper at the time. Need them Petro points and Air Miles!
