What fuel do you put in your car?

I use V Power only. I was trying to find out if the US currently mixes ethanol in it's V Power but can't seem to find any info. I see Canada are currently keeping V Power Ethanol free.
Does anyone know the answer or have any comments on Ethanol content in High grade fuel, personally think don't want to see it happen.

Chevron is excellent. It's my 1st choice, then Shell V power. Last resort, Exxon/Mobile. I think Texaco is now Chevron (same Techron additives). We are fortunate that we have 93 octane.

I don't think the ethanol is really an issue. Octane rating is the same, and it possibly helps to cool the cylinder (a fraction of a degree!).

BTW, ALL of the pump gasolines start out the same and come from the same refineries, then each company adds their additives to improve it.

That's great, I didn't know you could get that in CO. You need it with that squirrel **** they pass off as premium up there!

Where? down in wheatridge or whatever that area is called west of denver?
Everything i have seen around in CO has been Sunoco GT100, outside of the few one-off stations that have 93 (which i wish there was a list of somewhere)

I find that works the best as long as you use the Super octane booster in the can
