   my little  4.8 LS runs about 6.5 pounds manifold pressure climbing hills,  It's going to LOVE Canadian gasoline.

Negative 94.
Burning huge amounts of 91 "premium"
Which is mostly only found in cities.
Had to take 3 degrees of spark advance off the table.
91 here was giving some Knock Retard on hills.
. Many smaller stations in Yukon only have 87 unleaded.
Coffee is real hard to find at night.

after Action Report... 10,000 miles on the Tahoe, spent a bit over $3000 US on gasoline.
 Canadian 91 octane pump fuel is slightly inferior to Alaska 90.  In the higher temps around Alberta, early September we had to retard timing several degrees.
  A few, rare stations had 94 octane pump gas, we took it twice, but we  did  NOT load a custom  spark map to take advantage, so it was pretty much  wasted octane.  several times  we  HAD to splash in 40 or 50 liters of 87 octane  to get us through a  stretch of 'BUSH".. as 
 Espresso stands are VERY rare in western Canada, except Vancouver.
 TimHorton coffee is slightly better than  gas station/ diner coffee.
 StarBucks in Canada is same as Mexico, and USA....  adequate, reliably consistent, un inspiring..
  No problems  at the border,  Canadian customs very polite, did not have any problem with  armed Americans  passing through..
    In Whitehorse, EARL's restaurant  made us a damn good hamburger.
