Maybe. But it was riding pretty high, didn't you put KW-V3's on yours? Or maybe you raised it back up again. No Techart skirts or front. Then again, that's what "completely stock" would be, and it looked stock. So yeah, probs you, it was on the south side. But the guy looked like he was wearing a do-rag. You got a gang sign?

I spoke to a couple reputable porsche tuners in the states. They have seen data from their alberta customers that show our cars don't seem to like the husky 94 as much as shell 91....

So I guess I'll stick with Shell 91. All summer last year I was on teh husky 94 though.

Markski actually emailed me some logs. Lol

I didn't believe him either. The customer was somebody from Edmonton with alpha28's I believe.

I run both Husky 94 and Shell 91, and neither have had any issues.

That's strange. I should give Marek a call. Haven't talked with him for a while. It doesn't make any sense. 94 octane with 10% meth vs. 91 octane with 10% meth.

My personal dyno testing (on a vehicle tuned for local 94) resulted in detonation with 91 and no detonation with 94. I have A28's in my 996. I will drive across town to fill up with 94.

E10 at Shell and Esso?? I don't think the Shell or Esso in Edmonton have 10% Meth. Pretty sure that the V-power from Shell and the Esso Extra Premium are both straight gas here in town. And that's why the e10 94 from Husky is different from the 91 at Esso or Shell.

Having said that, the tuner in the US that I was speaking with still suggested to me that 94 e10 with a 93/94 tune would still yield better performance results than 91 straight gas with a 91 tune.

FWIW, check this link too: http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=AB Bottom line, check the pump to see if it's labelled E10.

Mike, of course you'll get detonation on 91 when you're running a 94 tune. Conversely, you won't get any performance increase on 94 when you're running a 91 tune. My fear with the 94 tune is for out of town roadtrips. I don't want detonation because I can't find suitable fuel. OTOH, for around town, it sure is nice that there's 94 nice and close to us.

By the way Mike, why were you up so late? F1 hasn't started yet.....

Shell Prem gas in the summer is an alcohol free fuel in most provinces.

The goverment has mandated how much environment saving alcohol the fuel makers must put into our fuels. <-- Oh would I like to go on a rant with that piece of environmental sarcasm..... Shell does comply with that requirement but they do so by adding all the required amount to there bronze and silver gas. Thus the 91 is an alcohol free fuel. The ethanol added to fuels does show and increased octane rating on paper but in the real world of anti knock it is not actually as good as the numbers may seem. I could write a thesis on this topic but I am not inclined to do so here. For my money shell 91 gets the nod.....

Do you have any logs of this? I don't care which is better between shell or husky. But I would like to know so I can make more power! lol

Dyno test best to worst (defined as less prone to detonation):

92 Shell (no longer available), 94 Gas-O-Haul, 91 (Shell).

Will do some datalogs this summer.
