93 ocatne gas anywhere?

[wychoi36]

Hi, I was living in the States; however, I recently moved to Toronto.
I used to pump 93 to my A4 since I have a 93 program on it. However, I'm having hard time findint 93 here in toronto.

Is there any place I can find it?

By the way, I'm located at Yonge and Sheppard.

I don't know of any 93 octane but all Sunoco's will have 94

wychoi36, the closest Sunoco for you is east of where you are on Sheppard Avenue. If I remember correctly, the Sunoco is just east of the 404/DVP overpass and will be on the south side of Sheppard.

Thank you, i just went to the sunoco and gave full 94 :)

Pretty sure octane ratings are calculated differently in USA and Canada. 94 is the best you can get here but I don't know how it compares to your 93

sunoco is the only (widespread) place to get fuel over 91 octane - esso, petrocan, shell all top out at 91.

i used to have a WRX, and it was recommended 93 as well - get a sunoco points card (you only get points for buying Ultra94), trust me - i won 100,000 points (the equivalent of $100) just for filling up one day. you can redeem the points for gift certs (to buy gas or whatever) or car washes (6000 points - about $6, which is cheaper than paying cash).

there's one at bathurst and wilson (closer to you than the 404).

pricing-wise, Ultra94 will always be at least $0.14/l more than the price on the sign (which is for 87)

US octane rating is the same as Canadian rating (RON+MON)/2. It's the European rating (RON) that's different - typically 4-5 points higher for identical fuel.

Canada is a country occupying most of northern North America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean.

i got the points card too, but it takes alot more then 1 fillup to get 100,000. im currently at 180,000 and i had it since they stopped taking CAA (new years) and i never fill up at any other gas station


edit: just read that you said you won it. how the hell did you win it?

It is, but Sunoco 94 also contains 10% ethanol...Shell 91 V-power has no ethanol.

Switching from Sunoco's Ultra 94 to Shell's 91 V-power I noticed a notable power AND fuel economy increase...it was recommended by another car-head and I was skeptical, but indeed it made a difference of almost 100km's per tank on my stock S4, plus it just felt better overall. Been using V-power since.

However, if your chip is for 93 octane, consider calling it's manufacturer and asking if it can adapt to 91. If yes, try out a few different places and see what works.

If no, stick with 94 to be safe.

i switched to shell and saw an increase in milliage too, it's the ethanol , garbage.

[kastro]

on another note.. ethanol is good in winter

[wychoi36]

I never thought this thread will be this much popular. lol
by the way, I got APR Stage 1+. I doubt that will be safe with Shell 91. I guess I gotta call and figure out like KackalS4 mentioned.

[gtimart]

Moro, thanks for the clarification , I wasn't sure.

I think in some places(Montreal ?) Petro Canada have 94

[headshok2002]

Haha I have 91 and 93 octane files for Stage 1+... I forgot I had 93. How do you switch again? Hold cruise control before starting the car or something?

Haha, maybe I'll fill up with 94 and give it a whirl sometime. I've always used Shell 91 though, as Ethanol is something I avoid, usually.

I haven't seen Chevron mentioned, out on the west coast Chevron has octane #s ranging from 89 all the way up to 94. My A4 runs on Chevron 92 octane exclusively. I refuse to pump anything else in to my car.....girlfriend thinks I'm nuts!.....IT'S GOT TECHRON BABY! I tell her. lol

No Chevron stations out east?

No 93 octane in GTA/Toronto and surrounding areas (Markham/Pickering/Downtown/Newmarket/Mississauga etc), anywhere.

Only 94 octane as we know is from Sunoco, and contains the 10% ethanol. So no straight 94 octane...that would be sweet if Petro or Shell got some straight 93/94 octane!

If/when I chip my car, knowing i'm in the Toronto area, i'll be getting a 91 tune for this very reason.

[headshok2002]

Unrelated... but Ultramar is awesome. I believe their 91 octane is ethanol free (silver and bronze have 10%), and it is just 9 cents more than regular... and on Thursdays it is 6 cents over regular.

I am going to fill up at Ultramar from now on, whenever I can. They are few and far between, and I am never near one on Thursdays... but I am on Fridays and Saturdays when I work. Everywhere else is 12 cents a litre more for premium (and a Petro the other day had it marked up 16 cents for premium!)... so saving 3 cents a litre over everywhere else (and a total of 6 cents on Thursdays) makes sense to me. 3 cents a litre is more valuable than the airmiles I forfeit. :P

I am saying all this because I think everybody should fill up at Ultramar who uses premium. Send a message to all the other d-bag gas companies.

That's correct. No Chevron out east.
