    Default 94 Octane Gas - Where?

    So the Husky in Dalhousie no longer has 94(not sure if permanent), where are you guys getting it in Calgary? Sucks because Dalhousie is so handy for me. Also curious if there’s 93 or 92 out there? Thanks guys.

    Cool. Thanks! Would you say Chevron is the best of the 3?

    I think Rage mentioned this a few years ago - if your car is NA, and calls for 93 from the factory (or tune) - apparently you can get away with 91 at our altitude.

    Yeah if your car is NA you can go down a peg here. And as mentioned if you're in the deep NW then G&B hawkwood has good 94.

    +1 for Chevron - ethanol free and dedicated nozzle for 94.

    Really??

    Ethanol free?

    If you dig through my old posts, I had the same problems with Chevron 94. Maybe it's better if you could tune for it, but back then I could only get it in BC, no tuning on road trips. Car drove and pinged like shit on it everywhere. Part throttle, WOT, just shit.

    That said I was tuned to the edge of Husky 94 so def very sensitive to fuel.

    Any thoughts on my best bet to try next? I suspect the ethanol helped with the heat issues of a supercharger. I’ve logged Shell 91 as well and it was not much different from Chevron 94.

    Might just have to try all of them and see some logs. So all husky getting rid of 94? Oh well, it worked great and hopefully one of these will be as good as husky.

    I had a car that ran Petro 94 and was also very unhappy on Chevron 94.

    In my later days of tuning I pretty much just use shell 91. It’s got a high tolerance for knock, just a tad below husky 94. I’d say its lowballed rated at 91. The bonus is fuel economy because no ethanol. The peak power between shell 91 and husky 94 was negligible. This is assuming things haven’t changed. Tuning for husky 94 was great in the city, but made road trips unbearable especially going to BC because no other fuel ran good on a 94 husky tune. Shell is just available everywhere.

    My HPF m3 where the tune is locked down only ran on shell 91. Knocked on everything else, even part throttle. Terrible.

    I don’t know if it’s because of heat issues, but I knock on Shell 91 and have zero knock on Husky 94.

    SC with a pulley. So lots of heat to go around.

    Likely going to re-tune for shell this year, unsure if this will push petro to drop 94

    I buy that - my Viper was tuned for 93 but runs perfectly well (no knocking, pulled timing, etc.) on Shell 91.

    Same story with my 2014 GT500 - all the basic mods (tb, pulley, longtubes, off-road H, cai, etc.) and a canned tune for 93 but runs perfectly well on Shell 91.
