The only company that I know of that offers gas with no ethanol is Shell. And even then, it's only available in their 91 octane.

The only gas I get anymore is Shell 91.
The most I've ever gotten out of a tank was around 600kms.
The least I've gotten was 320kms.
I average right now probably 480 to 500

On my RSX-S I used to get ~10% better in fuel economy with Shell 91 then Sunoco 94.

This was over many fillups and it was pretty consistent (I of course used the correct way to calculate fuel economy -- fill up tank and reset trip counter, drive, fill up again and calculate km driven by litres you just filled up). When they killed off the CAA points at Sunoco I switched to Shell 91 for the majority of my fillups (I still use Sunoco 94 once every 1-2 months).

When Im doing all city driving I only got like 350-400 myself. What scares me though, is your up in markham, and its much different from the actual city of Toronto driving. We have lights every 5 feet and they go red often.

Another question on my mind actually, which gears you using to cruise? At 60 Im using 5th gear now. I always cruise around 2500 or less.
