Gas in vancouver is ****ing expensive. Costs me $170. I live not even 5 mins from the border so once in a while I will fill up there. Saves me $50+. Plus american gas gets better mpg not sure why.

Well $150 in Canadian shouldn't be that much, eh?

Idk what the difference is because in Ohio there is no law requiring ethanol content be listed up to 10%. I asked the station on the second fillup if it was pure gas and I got a no.

As for the higher octane. Is 91 octane pure gas? I thought its E10 now and in theory would give worse mileage than E10 regular...

The last two tanks I have used non ethanol gas and noticed a nice bump in mpg.

Depends where you go. By law, only 87 has to be ethanol blend. I know most gas stations that offer 94 are ethanol free. Not sure about 91. I wonder if the extra cost of 94 is worth it because I know you would get much better mpg outweighing the cost.

Come to America...To live, it's fun . Trust me, I wouldn't extend the same invitation to our neighbors to the south. And I live 3 minutes from Juarez, Mexico.

Default Premium or Regular?

I took the manual to heart and started to run 93 in my 5.0. I do not know if the mileage is any different, but the engine runs quieter (I think) and the pickup is tremendous when commanding more power. Kind of like my G8 was. I might ry regular after my first oil change. Then again, maybe not.

I agree with the comments about ethanol. The info on the pump is worded "up to 10% ethanol". If you get a tank at 10% and then a tank of 4% on next fill up, you will see a difference.
