is there any gas station in calgary that carries 93+ octane? preferably in the south...?!?

 

=S maaan not sure
lol to be totally honest i didn't even know there was a 93

 

ahaha fair enough! cuz normally thers 91 al over but i wanna try a higher octane... my car feels sluggish at lower rpms...

 

you should have 94 at husky/mohawks
you guys got 94 long before we did in edmonton and we already have 4
so i know theres gotta be quite a few.


here you go:

Husky and Mohawk are please to announce the expansion of E94 into additional Calgary locations. Our Performance Plus 94 Octane is now available at the following stations:

ˇ Macleod Trail Husky Market - 4201 Macleod Tr. South.

ˇ Bow Trail Husky Market ? 3821 Bow Trail S.W.

ˇ Husky Sundance ? 75 Sunvalley Blvd. S.E.

ˇ Auto Square Calgary - 401-16 Ave. N.E.

ˇ 14th Street Mohawk ? 418 ? 14th Street N.W.

ˇ St. Albert Stop N? Shop ? 192 St. Albert Trail, St. Albert, AB


notice it says ADDITIONAL....so theres more

 

ya theres a husky by my house, its 91... thats hwere i usually gas up

 

I was told thats Husky and Mohawks 94 octane is no better than Esso or Shells 91 octane....

but dont qutoe me on that....

 

91 knocks. 94 doesnt.

thats good enough for me.

Alot of people judge fuel by power, and gas mileage.
in which case it wouldnt be surprising that people think its not better than 91.

 

ya thats why im looking for 94... i dont have knock but car feels sluggish...

 

Is this for the track or street? If you're looking for gas at the track, call RCTS and get MTS 99 octane.

 

just looking for street!
wouldnt u need a tune to run that high of octane?!

 

to get any use out of it...yes.

 

i use 92 at the husky by my house, that the highest its got. its fine. no knock after about 4 months now..

"Q: What about mileage? I've heard I'll have to use more ethanol-blended fuel compared to regular unleaded to go the same distance.

A: It's true that ethanol-blended fuel has 2% to 3% less energy content compared to regular unleaded fuel. On the other hand, ethanol is an oxygenated fuel that has the ability to improve combustion efficiency in many vehicles and can act as a gas line antifreeze by absorbing water. For most vehicles, this increased efficiency could offset the slightly lower energy content in the ethanol-blended gasoline.

Some newer vehicles have fuel injection computers that detect the oxygen in ethanol and interpret this to mean the engine is running with a lean fuel mixture. As a result, the computer adds more fuel to compensate, which can affect fuel mileage somewhat."

Also, I've found other "non-official" info written by a guy who is running a turbo car, but I don't know if it's true :

"Mohawk/Husky or any other ethanol blend has less energy. This is why fuel economy is worse with Mohawk/Husky fuels compared to say, Shell, Petro Canada, etc. At cruising, you need more power to maintain a certain speed, so you have to increase throttle to make up for less power, therefore higher fuel consumption. Based on fuel consumption alone, I'm guessing I make about 2% less horsepower using Mohawk (compared to Shell) assuming boost levels is the same. That's about 6whp at 12psi. Of course, if you can take advantage of the higher octane properties of the fuel, you can make more power. On my car, I make roughly 13whp per octane. So on 92, I can turn up the boost and make about 6whp more than 91 octane Shell. On 94, I can make 32whp more."
