- TrackrigExplorer IIIn Alaska it is - they do sell Chevy trucks up here. I can't speak about Canada as I drive a diesel back and forth.
Bill - WILDEBILL308Explorer IIUse regular, you will never know the difference.
Bill - MDKMDKExplorerShell stations near me have V-power premium gas and diesel. The gas version is ethanol free. I'm not sure but I believe the premium diesel is bio free.
Most other brands carry premium, I just happen to prefer Shell. - PA12DRVRExplorerAs noted, premium is available in Alaska, with the qualifiers of: a) on the road system; and b) the smaller the place, the higher the price and the higher the chance that they either won't have it or will be out pending delivery.
Off the road system (not really a factor for RV travel), premium is a **** shoot.
It's anecdotal at best, but at some of the smaller stations in more remote places, the premium supply might not turn over often and may, may, put a bit more of a burden on your vehicle's fuel filter. - Bionic_ManExplorerI never have seen a 6.0 that requires premium. The 6.2, that is a different story.
And yes, there is premium fuel available in Alaska. - LwiddisExplorer IIAwfully wild up there. Safer to stay home.
- pianotunaNomad IIIPremium is available in almost all locations that sell fuel in Canada.
- wilber1ExplorerThe same vehicles that require premium in the US also require it in Canada. I don't know of a station in Canada that doesn't have premium although there may be some. Shell 91 octane is ethanol free as is Chevron 94 octane. 91 octane at Co-Op stations in BC is also ethanol free. I'm assuming they get their fuel from Shell

Looking at new Silverado with 6.0 gas V8 that requires premium gas. Is premium gas available all through Canada and Alaska?
It requires premium? Or is it "recommended"? - Sea_SixExplorerWhat makes you think the Chevy Solverado 6.0 requires premium fuel?
I had one for 5 years and only used regular gas. It ran just fine.
