Lowest Ethanol Gas mix?

Anyone know in Canada or US who offers straight unleaded or at least the lowest ethanol based gas mix?

Been using Esso in Canada (yes I know about the sulphur but hoping because of their neglect they are offering the highest content of unleaded fuel)

Here's some background info on reformulated gas, and how it affect fuel economy. maybe explains why I'm only getting 450km for 36L of gas.

Thanks a lot.

Is that information posted at the pump? Didn't find it on the Shell Canada website?

It's posted at the pump. I'm 80% sure that Sunoco uses no more than 10% ethanol on their gasoline lineup including Sunoco 94. :)

I didn't see that posted at the Shell pump but filled up with 91 octane last night. We'll see if it improves fuel economy..

It's in small lettering either to the right or left of the pump nozzle. Usually right above the sign that says you're under surveillance or something like that. :)

It might, but you've already paid for it by buying the most expensive gasoline available at the pumps, so either way the same hole in your bank account!
Best is no ethanol whatsoever, regular, medium, premium, any kind of gasoline!
