Can the ethanol vary between companies??
I admit I don't know about Petrocan. Maybe, Just maybe, they source from Montreal which would be a different refinery.

I'd have to test the canadin tire gas to conferm the 10% midgrade I suspect it's really is 5% BUT here's the rub there is no such thing as mid-grade gas from the refinery.

There is regular with 10% and premium with 0%...the PUMP mixes the two together and a voala! presto!...you have mid-grade gas with 5% ethenol.

It has been awhile since I've tested my gas. I did test most except Petrocan and Canadian tire, my local Petrocan are MF'in crooks And I don't care for CT much.
I just posted an easy test for ethenol content, try it yourself like I did.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
