I would say always go for 92/93 on premium cars, don't cheap out on gas. If you want to track down, try getting fuel that doesn't contain ethanol

I completely disagree with you, the Chevron 94 simply doesn't feel up to par as Shell's 91. From my personal observation, the Chevron 94 in BC get an average of more than 35kms less of range from a tank and it doesn't perform as well on track. I know someone with a M4 who get around 5mph slower trap speed in the 1/4 at castrol on 94 compare to Shell 91. He also works for a machining company that does servicing for the refineries and says that Chevron's standards is simply not up to par compare with the others
