Also, are you sure there is a 20% ethanol content? I don't think non E85 cars are rated to run on anything about 10%. (at least in the US, I'm not sure if things are different in Canada). If it were my car, I'd use gas with no ethanol anytime I can find it. A 20% blend may effect your warranty.

Sorry you are right it is 10% ethanol added to 93 Octane.
