Ya, that is the old sticker we have seen on shell pumps for years - most places they are now gone. But sounds like they now offer a new bland of 93 with no E. Not sure how they are doing that though - I always thought the shell gas stations had two gasoline tanks in the ground, one with regular (bronze) and one with 91. Regular (bronze) had E, silver was a mix of both gasolines, so half the E in it and 91 had no E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I am thinking this fuel also has E - nothing stating it does not on Shell website and based on regulations, it is supposed too. Just a higher grade to compete with Sunoco/Petro Ultar 94, IMO......that has always had E in it. https://www.shell.ca/en_ca/drivers/my-fuels/shell-v-power-nitro-plus-premium-gasoline.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 91 and now saying it’s 93. I guess, I have to do fuel to water test to verify. It seemed there was a loop hole in regs to allow some stations to sell this 93 e free fuel for race cars across Canada. 🤷🏽♂️ I do test and report back 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Farmer Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Apparently since last year there were some pretty big changes that went under the radar. Regulation forced companies to increase ethanol in gas. Every premium octane out there now has 10% ethanol in it, Shell included.Jan 11, 2023 Man you think stickers would come off pumps then! 🤷🏽♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catinental couch Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 A marina close to me sells unbranded regular marine fuel with no ethanol. There is no stations on Simcoe or Couchiching with high test fuel. On the Trent System at Big Chute they are selling unbranded mid grade ethanol free marine gas and no other gasoline with any other octane ratings. In Georgian Bay there is a mixed mash of stations with everything you can imagine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Some interesting info about the whole theory and its problems. Remember, the climate change crisis mongers only have a theory it does not mean they are factually correct. These two clips are not meant to inflame or enrage merely to inform. They are both very insightful and for any real world gains we need to be able to discuss the inevitable pros and cons of our approaches. Yes, approaches, there is no one single solution to any problem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ox Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I am seeing more and more whistle blowing news reports on this subject recently. And I am actually talking about mainstream MSN news! Don't know what CNN is dooing, but the "con" side of the debate seems to be gaining .... steam. Point being that the "NOT" side is starting to get some press time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Thanks. They're a regular source of our fuel (Hwy 400). Oddly, never 'felt the love' further north, at the Petro Canada south of Parry Sound. Drama with trailer parking (yes/no? For the day; overnight? Even had to park in a secluded 'Park n Ride' in the vicinity one year. Not like the old days at that Petro Canada station). Wolf Energy (Exit: Iroquois Cranberry Growers Drive) expanded last summer. Our go to for northern gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
