They have really bumped up the octane ratings

90
92
94

Now I can put mid grade in my car--ah might just go regular...see if it rattles the dash like it did when I tried 87 :P

 

ya i noticed that myself the other day, i ended up filling mine with 92 octane, used to be that 91/92 was premium. I've tried the 94 twice now and I think it's netting me worse MPG.

 

Assuming the price went up as well... how does the midgrade 92 compare in price to stations with 91 as premium?

 

price has gone down alot

 

not because of the octane rating change...if thats what you mean.

 

i only run the mohawk 94 in my car and its the same price as v-power. I found i have to run it cause im getting pinging off V-power and esso 91

 

i find mohawk the best in mine. highway mpg really good, shell is like water.

 

The reason that it is so high is the ethanol in it... Higher ethanol content requires a higher octane to react the same as regular fuel.

V-Power has no ethanol and is 91. Personally, I rather having fuel without ethanol and I find that it runs much much better than fuel with an ethanol content.

If anyone has looked into it, the flexfuel cars with E85 ethanol actually have worse fuel mileage with the ethanol fuel as opposed to regular fuel.

 

ummm wth is mohawk fuel and where do you find it?

 

Yeah that's what I meant, thanks.

 

north of your border...

 

not a fan of mohawk unless your doing air-care (i dunno if this is only a bc thing or not i think it is) haha...im a petro-canada/ chevron guy myself though 94
