I am going to store my 1964 Olds for 5 months. Its filled with fresh Shell V-Power®NiTRO+ gas purchased in Kansas ($4.99 a gallon), I could not see any ethanol markings on any pumps or grades of gas. But the guy inside said "they all have ethanol". Anyone know the truth?? I thought V power was non ethanol?

 

From what I read, in the states it has 10% but in Canada it's ethanol free.

 

Not anymore....they sent me this in November 2024

Hello Thank you for contacting Shell Customer Service. Please be informed that starting in 2022, all gasoline grades sold in Canada will be blended with ethanol, including premium gasoline (V-Power 91, 93) according to proposed regulations (10% ethanol Federal Clean Fuel Regulation for 2022, Low Carbon Fuel Requirements and need to reduce the carbon intensity of fossil fuels, which ethanol is one mechanism to reduce carbon intensity).

All the provinces are switching slowly, and if you see the label at the pump, “Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol,” it is already happening. It is still during converting to Ethanol and some of the terminals they source from haven’t converted yet. As such you would see a mix of sites that have Ethanol, and some does not have yet but will over time as the product is available. The non-Ethanol or free ethanol stickers at gas pumps means the stations have 0% ethanol free gasoline at each site and will be mounted once up to 10% appropriate changed. I hope this address your concern.
