It varies a lot from company to company. I buy all my gas in the US but only from Mobile, Shell and Irving tend to make my car knock happy.


I was only buying from Shell given that they're reputed to be the best here and Shell 91 in Canada (Ontario, anyways) is THE gas to have (0% ethanol, etc.). It's what all the classic car guys use, etc. I use Petro 94 here, and I have had WAY better success with it than the Shell crap I bought down there. My car was knocking more than a Mormon in a new neighbourhood.

I'l have to try Mobile next time I'm down there!


I've had better luck with the Mobile 93 than the PC 94, and at half the cost. It all goes to hell after they start switching to winter blend as well.
