What Gas Brand Do You Buy?

[LibertyTC]

I use Chevron with Techron. Seems to work well and Keeps engine clean.
I Stay away from MoHawk service stations. Have had some bad gas once before and their pumps at many stations are antiques, swipes often fail.
Water In Fuel Closes a MoHawk in Surrey today.

Chevron with Techron Regular 87 octane in the greater Anchorage area.
Elsewhere its what it is and like it.
Interesting thing however, we only have 2 refineries in the state. Fairbanks is primarily jet fuel brought to Anch by rail car. The one in Nikiski comes north by pipeline.
Shell, Chevron, Holiday and Tesoro are available around here. The Chevron is 1/2 mile down the road.

That is some interesting gas Station names like Holiday and Tesoro (treasure in Spanish)
You live not far from Anchorage, would love to go there one day just to see it.
Must have real winters and the Jeep must get used!
I can see it now.... a Polar bear sleeping beside the Jeep!
Maybe a KJ photo beside a real igloo?

Qwik Trip....

We only use Shell gasoline.
For just around town driving we use 87 octane, when we go for road trips or off road
and we're fully packed we run super.

Sorry no photos (maybe this winter) I am 25 road miles from downtown Anchorage by 4 lane going to 6 lanes of highway.
Bought the Liberty new in Jan 03. Winter it pulls a 8X10 tilted snowmachine trailer with a 2010 Polaris Widetrak IQ 600 on it. My idea of a vacation is an organized ride from Tok,AK to Dawson,YT. Summers I rent an A-Liner hard side pop up camper from JBER (merger of Elmendorf and Ft Richardson) and feed the skeeters to the north. Alaskans have a soft spot in our hearts for our Canadian neighbors. Good people.

We use the local Petro Canada station as so far they haven't gone over to Ethanol like the rest of the ***** gas stations around. Otherwise we use whatever shows up when the light comes on.

What octane do you use? In Ontario the only ethanol free gasoline at Petro-Canada stations is octane 91.

Regular on Normal Days High test when I feel Fancy. Out here no Supreme fuel has Ethanol anywhere. Petro out Here has decided that they won't switch to Ethanol until they absolutely have too. My Girlfriend works for the Tech department at a Major Oil company so sometimes we get a little extra info on whats going on. Recently tho all the Petro Canada stations around have put up Ethanol free all grades of fuel signs I'll get a picture of one later and post it.

Wow, good for you.

Qwik Trip....

Yeah, Kwik Trip is about the only stations left around here anymore. There are a few places where you can stand at one Kwik Trip and see another one within walking distance:freak3:

 

[HoosierJeeper]

They are nice stations, IMO. Always clean and nice. Pumps work fine too, they actually keep glass cleaner in the buckets, not dirty water....key pads work good. Gas seems nice too. Then again, anything is better than what's in FL...

 

[Slava]

BTW folks, is that true all blends at Canadian Tire gas stations in Ontario are ethanol free? Source is http://pure-gas.org/, anyone can confirm?

Just got a note back from Shell. Their V-Power 91 octane is ethanol free.
Tried some in the motorcycle yesterday....the bike like that stuff!
I wrote back to Shell asking that they put a sticker on pumps to indicate percentage of ethanol in grades of fuel and no ethanol sticker for their 91 V-Power. This should be mandated across all stations.
Chevron station do have the stickers indicating ethanol percentage as well as their 94 octane is ethanol free.
Ethanol lower (84) grades contain more ethanol like 10 percent compared to 5 percent in most mid grades. Just as a note re ethanol fuels,,they like to attract moisture. Which will sit in bottom of tanks. Metal tanks will be effected by this new phenomenon.
So for storage it is now recommend (like motorbikes) or any metal gas tank vehicles that you occasionally use a solid dose of a Marine Ethanol fuel stabilizer to eliminate storage and water build ups caused by ethanol fuels.

Notification of ethanol content is required by law in Wisconsin, I believe it's nation wide in the U.S. At the moment 10% is the most that companies can use in lmotor vehicle fuel. There is a push to increase the maximum to 15%.
I run mid-grade in the cycle, and haven't had any issues with it

I also burn Kwik Trip gas but either buy the 89 octane or 91. I sometimes get a light ping under load and the higher octanes seem to cure that.

With 15 % Ethanol.....Sudden Acceleration?
The Vehicle may really "RUN" away!!!
