What's the best gasoline for Mazda3?

[JiNuWiNe]

Hey guys, I'm a new guy on this forum. Just doing some research for the new car. I live in Toronto, Canada, which gas station has the best gas for Mazda3? We have Pertro Canda, Esso, Shell, Sunoco. I've done some reading and seems like you guys suggest 87 octane but never mentioned from which gas station. Some people say certain gas station carries ethanol-free gasoline which is better for the car.

Thanks!

You are right, most people use 87.

Gas station thread/poll. It is also found under the Similar Threads section at the bottom of this page.

The majority of members use Shell.

Another gas station thread/poll (this thread is older than the one above)

Here, the majority use Petro Canada.

This thread talks about gas stations too, but there is no poll and it was created back when the gas prices weren't so constant across the city.

This thread talks about the use (or lack of use) of ethanol in gas. It is also found under the Similar Threads section at the bottom of this page.

Thanks alot mit-gee-mui! You're very helpful. =)

For the current family car, we've been using Petro Canada's gas for as long as I remember. We drive a 92 ES300 and it cost $65 roughly to fill the tank.

I've heard that it's not good to change where you fill gas because every gas station has a different mix. I might sound stupid and maybe thats why I'm here asking questions.

Thanks for all the helpful inputs!
