I tested the Costco 91 gas and it contained NO ethanol. You can pick up a ethanol test kit for $20, or do it yourself (it's really easy). I also tested Esso, Petro T, shell (not V) and all had 15% ethanol.

Shell V power also had no ethanol.

Corn is made to eat, not to feed our cars ..as monsanto wishes.

Ethanol has no business being in cars.
Period.

Thanks for your work ... I personally I think I am going to try a tank of Shell V 91 Octane when my current tank is done. Like the extra 4-5$ isn't going to kill me.

I live in Alberta (Edmonton) .. so a fill with Premium gas is probably still cheaper than filling up with regular in just about anywhere else in the country. So .. I should consider myself lucky that I live in Alberta where we have cheap gas.

So far .. I am not experiencing any significant improvement in fuel economy with Ethanol free gas. In fact I don't know if there is ANY improvement. (I am running 91 Octane Shell Gold Ethanol free gas) I won't know for a week or so, but will post my results when I have my next fill up.
