Default Re: Todays Gas for Daily drivers

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Keith Tedford</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I don't know about the US, but here in Ontario, Petro Canada and Shell premium gas does not have ethanol according to their gas pump labels. That's all I use in everything, from weed eater to L78. Not only does ethanol attract water, it also leaches oils out of rubber, neoprene and soft plastics. It's been a nightmare for marine people, great for the small motors repair people. </div></div>


According to Petro-Canada whom I wrote to:
Ethanol is only present in Petro-Canada Regular Clean 87 Octane (10%) and Plus Clean 89 Octane (5%). Petro-Canada SuperClean 91 Octane gasoline does not contain any Ethanol.
Ethanol content in SuperClean 94 or Ultra 94 is 10%.

The L78 will only run on 94 octane (10% ethanol). I'm now thinking about purchasing their 91 octane ( No ethanol)and adding a booster.
It may be less expensive and I won't have to deal with the ethanol issue.
