I noticed in a post Sunoco is available in the US. It is by far the best gas in Canada. The highest Octane rating and the highest ratio of methanol(or ethanol, can't remember which)
Esso is the worst. Dirty, and subject to gas line freeze often. Too bad my company gas card is Esso. I have to fill the S2K on my on dime.

Petro Canada isn't too bad either I guess..at least I get petro points! yeehaw..we actually don't have sunoco out this way..we have Chevron but every station out here in vancouver has 94 as their highest octane rating so i guess we're lucky here..

I use the new sulfur-free Shell Optimax for both of my cars. With a ROZ of 99 it is the highest-octane fuel available over here. Haven't experienced any problems with it so far. I guess that stuff isn't available in the USA since nobody mentioned it?

I use Chevron 92 octane. I think the additive that Chevron puts in (Techron) was proven to be the only one that actually cleans the injectors. Can't remember where I read that, but I think it's true.

They have some purple "gas" down at the local airport. It smells different and I used it my motorcycles with no problems. Anyone put ave-gas(sic) in their S2000? I think its like 116 octane
