The local Shell also has a sticker on the V-Power 91 that states "No Ethanol", but with an asterisk and a "* where available" disclaimer.

Well, I had better take a closer look at my local Shell pumps ... I saw the sticker about the top grade being alcohol free, I didn't see a disclaimer but I wasn't looking for one either.

Good to know, thanks for posting that.

This subject is so irritating when you look at the whole picture. It ranks right up there with the emmission laws. We're constantly forcefed BS with few options and not enough clarity of the issue at hand. Todays cars are designed to use the ethanol blends and as long as your car doesn't sit too long, you'll be putting "fresh" gas in all the time. Our toys and equipment don't get that luxury.

The ethanol is mandated into the fuel and we are forced to consume it. Our only option is to pony-up for the premium fuels. If they're going to dilute our fuels with corn-alcohol...a RENWEABLE fuel...shouldn't we be paying LESS for this crap instead of more?! Can anyone see my veins popping out of my neck or smell the smoke? Man this fires me up.

I was recently looking to buy a new daily driver. I found a site (should have saved it) that shows the fuel economy ratings for any car and even shows each optional engine/tranny combination. The cars that run same displacement engines get up to 10% LESS fuel economy when using ethanol! Can anyone say CROCK OF $HIT!?! Why would anyone buy a car to run this garbage on purpose? Did we really vote for the government to mandate this stuff?!!!

Anyhow...whew...almost blew a gasket there...

If it doesn't say "ethanol-free" it ain't. Shell V-Power is the only stuff I've found in the Brantford area for us. Hell, I even have to put it in my big ol International tractor, otherwise the needle gets too gummy to allow the fuel in. Grrrrrrrr.

The government doesn't mind us paying the extra either...more taxes going into their pot to pay for their raises.....Arrrrrrrgggggg....I thought I was done.

Okay, now I am.

And what ticks me off about buying higher octane fuel is that we have to pay 15 cents more per liter, but our American neighbours only pay 10 cents more per US gallon !! In other words, we pay the equivalent of 57 cents more per US gallon for high octane. We always get raped in this damn Country !!

Being only a 15 min drive to the US is why I buy my gas, groceries,car parts, go for lunch, cloths and everything else. Gas in Odgensburg for Sunoco regular was .99/liter today, Sunoco 94 was $1.03/liter. Oh and their sales tax is only 7%.

So, let's say we want to try your product !! You're located in BC, and 95% of us are in Ontario.It seems that all your distributors are circled around the GTA, but NOT IN the GTA. The closest one to me is 2 hours away, and I'm not into getting stuff shipped to me. Most of us here use either Sta-Bil or Seafoam as a gas preservative, and I can honestly say that I've never had any issues over the years with fuel going bad on me. I would like to hear in layman's terms why you claim your product is the only one to use.

Frankly I have never had to use any of these products and never had a problem. Ethanol's reaction to buna rubber is the only thing that has created any headaces for me and unless it removes ethanol its not likely to solve that problem

What am I missing here, looked all around your website and can't find any reference of using this product to combat the effects of ethanol in gasoline??
