I just wanted to pass along some info for those of you that live in Toronto or in Ontario. I just went to gas up my ride and discovered for the second time that the price of HI TEST (91 octane) is priced at the same price as mid grade (89 octane) at most Esso stations in the Toronto and GTA. I dont know if this is just for this city or if its province wide or country wide. I asked the attendant why it was priced that way and he said it came from head office a month ago. I myself wont look a gift horse in the mouth but with the prices of gas now I am certainly going to take advantage of it. Paying 1.09 a litre is better then paying 1.20 a litre. Every little bit helps.

Anyone else experience the same thing?

I noticed the higher octane gas here in Kansas was cheaper than regular unleaded. Then I saw that it has alcohol in it. Not for me.

The stuff we have here as high test has 5 percent ethynol. Ethynol wont harm your engine in small percentages.

Anyone else?
