Today, I filled up at a 'smaller' fuel company, at least compared to other companies I have been to, and that is Pioneer. They are still a pretty big chain though.
The results for this video were from Canadian Tire gas, and this was a big time stark contrast to the last company I used, Mobil. And that was the biggest shock, as Canadian Tire does not have the best reputation with some Canadians. But this gas was by far the best I have used. I got the best mileage from it, the car ran the best...it was pretty good! So far, this was the best gas and it is the current front runner in my test.
