Default Re: Shell gas vs BP gas

Up here in Ontario, '94 Octane has been available for years. I put it in all my vehicles including the lawnmower! Sunoco was my brand of choice, but Sunoco has been taken over by Petro Canada who now sells the '94 Octane. The bad news is, Ethonal is found in all our gas as mandated by the Provincial Government. Depending on what province (state) you live in, the Ethonal mix varies and can be as high as 10%. Rumours of increasing it to 20% in Ontario persist.
Here is a link to Petro Canada's gasoline grades.
Gasoline and Diesel Fuels - Petro-Canada

Here is a link for my Ontario friends that explains the Provincial Law regarding Ethonal.
Ethanol in Gasoline - Ministry of the Environment

That said, I use my local Shell station and pump the V-Power gas. I'm guessing it has Ethonal as well, but if you go to the Shell Canada web site, they make no mention of it.
