Canada Gas-Pumps (Which one do you go to?)

Hi all! I live in the northeast part of the GTA (Markham) and am wondering where everyone else is and which gas-bar do you feed your 2 series?

I personally have been an Esso gasser but that was really with my previous vehicles of either the Honda or the Lexus. Now that I'm gearing up for a performance vehicle I want to feed it premium fuels. Does any one know or have any specific gas stations that is suggested.

How about any of those no-no's?

List of gas stations that I know of in the southern Ontario region:
Shell, Esso, Petro-Canada, Husky, Costco, Canadian Tire, 7-Eleven, Amco, Ultramar

Take a look at this: http://www.toptiergas.com/retailers/

Shell, Petro-Canada and Costco are in the list. Been feeding mine (E92 335i) Shell V-Power since the beginning... highly recommended for direct-injected engines like ours.

Yea, I saw that Shell Petro-Canada & Costco are on there, So is Esso! I guess Esso gas is okay! But I guess 7-Eleven isn't so that's one to stay away... Does this list also include Canada? I thought it was more of the states thing.

Shell 91 Ethanol free every time.

Stations I avoid:

Centex
Esso
Husky
Mohawk ( Does this still exist? )
Ma and Pa
Co-Op
Macs

My choices after Shell are Chevron 91-94 Ethanol free ( in BC when travelling ), then Petro 91, then Costco 91.

I always use Shell 91 octane V-power - contains no ethanol..

Always use a Tier 1 (aka Top Tier) 91 octane or better gasoline.
Avoid any ethanol blend (e.g. E10).

Shell, Esso and MacEwan all have ethanol free 91 across Canada. Other chains have ethanol free as well depending on the province:

Western Canada: CO-OP premium
New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI: all premium grade gasoline
British Columbia: Chevron 94
Ontario: Costco 91; Canadian Tire 91; Ultramar 91
