Default Gas in Canada

Hi, All,

What are the best brands of gas to use in Canada, specifically, Toronto and Montreal? Is 92 or 93 octane common enough? In the US, I use (or try to) Mobil or Exxon.

Thanks,

/Rog

The only thing in Canada to use is Sunnoco Gold, its 94 octane and readily available almost anywhere.

Love it, the car purrs.

Hey folks,
Here in Calgary (correct me if Im wrong xviper), high octane gas is a rarity. 94 Octane is avail. at Mohawk, "mother nature's gas station" but that is an ethanal blend, and I'm not too keen on that. I've heard it clogs up the fuel filter very quickly. Having said that, I stick to the 92 Octane from Esso.
How about everyone else?

Esso is probably the worst quality gas you could buy, Figures my company give me an Esso Gas car, all my S2K fill ups are Sunoco 94.
The owners manual does state that 10% ethanol, methanol is ok for your engine.

I have to agree with Mindcore, Esso is awful, especially when you can easily get 94...even Pioneer has 93.

Does anyone remember the UPI gas stations (Ontario) they had a 95 octane (ethanol) for a long time...wonder what happend to them.

Xviper: Isn't that something different to look at? The wasn't the DoGMaN effect I was looking for
