i always put in $60.00 of Shell's 91 Octane in my tank so i don't miss out on any Airmiles & if I see some 94 Octane, i'll fill up on that also but I prefer Shell.

Shell seems to give the best bang and umph. I seem to get less with Petro but that could also be in the driving. I mostly drive city so my milage sucks anyway but still I get a bit more from shell.

From full to 1/4 tank I usually average 400-410km with Shell and about 380 with Petro. What kind of milage are you guys getting?

^ Is it because the Type S have more HP or is it a heavy foot?

Costco 91...used to use petrocanada 91, and don't see the difference in performance/mileage, etc....other than, of course, the approximate 20 cents/litre I save....filled up yesterday for 120.9, and regular is posted at 117.9 at the petro down the road

Shell was the best for more mileage
Yep, shell 91V power. I get about 300miles up here in toronto. I used to only fill with petro 94, getting about 260-270miles a tank. Now i use shell 91 religiously

Petro Canada 94
I tried Shell for a few months since I heard you get more mileage with it but didn't happen so I switched back to Petro. Petro Points are way better than Airmiles. Airmiles suck!

I don't notice a difference with different brands, but I always put the highest octane in my car. I do notice a difference with the butt dyno if I put anything less in.

I used Shell 91 on my BMW before I got sold her, and Im using the same on my TL. Although its a few years older than the BMW was, Shell 91 always gives me good mileage and decent power.

Some folks though use regular on their TLs - dont know how they get away it since Im guessing that should throw a check engine light, it always does on the bmws.
