V6 KM per Tank ?

Filled up the Jetta today here in Toronto. Diesel was 96cents
Gas was 1.06 I believe

Sucks January 1st we get another 4.5 cent tax on.

 

$1.20

 

yeah i saw that too

 

Ouch

Are you guys getting anything extra tacked on in the new year. Ontario Liberals are bringing in some cap and trade thing adding 4.5 cents as part of the new carbon tax shit

 

BC has had a carbon tax forever

 

1.19 in Penticton BC. 2 weeks ago I drove north-south across the province and there was an awful lot of 1.14s along the way, although it went up a few cents here after that.

 

1.269 here yesterday when I got gas

 

1.13 here in the GTA yesterday... had a 10c/L off coupon which made it a bit more bearable... sigh...

 

I've been putting 91 octane in the truck for 6 weeks now. Specifically from Shell and McEwen as I am experimenting with fuel which reportedly does not have ethanol in it. When the "winter gas" showed up my mileage went for a shit. The fuel experiment so far has me back around 525 km to a tank.

 

1.249 here today

 

What was your mileage on regular fuel, as compared to winter fuel, as compared to the premium?

 

I was getting 460ish km to a tank when the winter gas came out. Prior to that I was 530ish on regular. My last two tanks of fuel I've gone 525 km and 546 km on 91 oct (sans ethanol). This is primarily Ontario highway. 50% of the time with a full load.

 

Now you have to do the math to see which is the more cost effective. Cheaper gas but less mileage or slightly better mileage but more expensive gas.

 

I'll also be factoring in "freezing my ass off while I fill the tank when it's -30 C".

 

Don't forget added points for windchill factor.

But unless the 91 pump is faster wouldn't that just be a wash in the end?

 

If I get 50 more km per tank that's one less fill up for every 5,500 km.

 

Thanks for coming out

 

I always use ethanol free 91

 

I do what can, folks.
