The ethanol really gives you ****ty gas mileage.

Ethanol = reduced gas mileage

Because ethanol has lower energy per unit volume. Ontario has legislated ethanol in gasoline so you should see almost all Regular gas in Toronto will have 10% ethanol later this month. So far other than Sunoco none of the others use ethanol in their 91 Octane gas.

BTW - ethanol is mostly coming from corn. Should make the farmers happy.

Husky ='s Ethanol. Chevron ='s the good stuff.

The reason higher octane isn't offered in Calgary for the good gas has to with the higher altitude. On the other hand, there is a reason ethanol gas with a higher octane blend is offered.
