Oh and if you're looking for race gas in Calgary, VP Race Fuels has a place in the neighbourhood of McKnight and 15th in the NE!
It's not sold out a pump though so you'd be taking delivery of a drum... they should deliver though and what most guys will do is buy a drum and mix it with pump gas to get whatever octane they're targeting which will be more than potent enough for most street cars. You could go like 1/4 of something like 100+ octane with a tank of premium and you'd be sitting a few points higher in the tank... They have a lot of selection though so no idea what might be the best pick! Just be sure to specify unleaded!!!!
Some Husky stations also have a 94 on pump which if memory serves has a higher percentage of ethanol to get the higher octane. The ethanol should not be a worry on the 6.2L though since those are flex-fuel motors I believe?
