M2 Fuel Octane
Hello all
I'm assuming the M2 calls for premium fuel. Can anyone tell me what the owner's manual says in terms of recommended octane? I believe we have up to 94 here in Canada, but just was wondering what it says in the manual. Thanks in advance. |

Esso is so convenient cause there is so many of them, but for some reason (possibly placebo), when I put Shell in, My RSX Type-S feels much more peppy. Does V-power come in 93? The most convenient Shell near me only has up to 91. |

It feels almost like Esso is closer to 88/89 then 91. |

Is there somebody who has an opinion about Petro Canada 94 octane gasoline ?
I'm asking because it is the only possibility in my region to get over 91 octane gasoline. |

But some people don't like that PC 94 has ethanol...some prefer Shell V Power 91 which apparently has no ethanol. Need to make your own decision. |

Sure, most gas has some amount of ethanol. Its just that some people think it increases wear on some engine components.
Personally I don't have have an issue, and plan on using the highest octane I can get, which in my case is PetroCan 94 |

PetroCan's 94 has about 10% ethanol. Shell's VPower 91 has no ethanol, but it does have some engine additives. I prefer running no ethanol due to winter - ethanol freezes at -17C and here in NB that is pretty much the average winter temp. Since I travel about 50% of the year for work, don't want to run the risk of ethanol freezing in my fuel line when the car sits idle (even though garage is heated, you never know). |
