Hibernation Time -- Quick Q's

One other thing about Octane rating on different brands. I'm not sure what's available in Alberta, but I ONLY run Chevron 94 here in BC. Why? because it's only .05/litre

One other thing about Octane rating on different brands. I'm not sure what's available in Alberta, but I ONLY run Chevron 94 here in BC. Why? because it's only .05/litre more than the 91 and it's ETHANOL FREE.

Shell 91 is also ETHANOL FREE but they don't use dedicated pump and because its BMW and Ferrari Kool-Aid, they charge more than Chevron 94. Car wont notice difference, but its principle.

Not sure whats available in Alberta, but I would at least fill with ETHANOL FREE for storage.

I agree. I can not overstate the importance of filling with ethanol free. Stabil will do nothing to prevent the ethanol from rusting and rotting out your fuel tank and fuel system from the inside out. Don't believe me? Watch this.
