E85 in bc?
Any stations offer e85? Ive never happened to pay enough attention. I fill with chevron and I don't ever recall seeing it. Considering going to a 94/e85 blend.
Thanks

BC boy also.
Not trying to completely ignore your question but, I was told by a BMW mechanic to ONLY use Shell and Esso fuel. There's 0% ethanol added to their fuel saving you money in the long run(carbon deposits). He also mentioned 91 is all you'll ever want to use.
Was your question based on the price? |

Chevron > Shell > Esso...in that order.
Steve Dinan's recommendation is either Chevron or Shell only...period. No ethanol at all.

no E85 here in Vancouver. The nearest is a shell in Washington. 1401 172nd St., NE, Marysville, WA . it is in lakewood area close to I5.
That is what I use for track days. Almost fill with Chevron 94, here in Van it has no alcohol, and 1 gallon of E85. I tried double that mixture and the car did NOT like it. When I go to Wash and Oregon tracks I take down 2 jugs of Chevron 94 as all Washington has alcohol in their gas, and fill them with e85 on the way home. Yes it works. The car is noticeablly cooler running on the track. And Map 5 on JB4 will tune to the fuel. Yes LOTS more fun. If you do not mind paying the money instead of going down, you can get a gallon of stove ethanol at Steveston Marine, "Captain Phab's marine alcohol" $16ish a gallon |

No need to get defensive; I was merely pointing out that most car fans use/prefer Chevron in BC, and that the local BMW dealer here recommends it (as well as any Top Tier gas).

I worked at a couple of stores out East and the Master tech's there had a pref to 'Shell only' - although that's been in a bullitin by BMW Canada themselves....apparently! Although this debate seems to reign on & on, so - enjoy whatever you use guys n' gals Last edited by Lay-Z M3; 12-10-2012 at 07:16 PM.. |

We are able to ship drums of E85 to pretty much anywhere in Canada at this point. BC and Alberta shipping is very reasonable. info@arcadestation.ca if you are interested.
