I sent an e-mail to Petro Canada in regards to the level of ethonol in their fuels, other than the Ultra 94. Here is the response I received:

Thank you for contacting Petro-Canada Customer Service online.

At Petro-Canada branded gas stations, not selling Ultra 94, the Premium 91 Octane gasoline does not contain ethanol. This is for stations up to the Muskoka area and from Windsor to Belleville..

In Northern Ontario, North Bay, Sudbury, S.S. Marie, Timmins, Thunder Bay areas and in Eastern Ontario for the Ottawa areas, including Pembroke, Cornwall and Brockville, both Regular and Premium gasoline currently do not contain any Ethanol.

Petro-Canada Premium Gasoline does not contain ethanol, but does contain an effective level of deposit control additive (DCA or detergent) Tactrol that has been proven to lower emissions by keeping fuel system and combustion areas free of deposits. The effectiveness of the DCA keeps deposits from building up and interfering with combustion of the gasoline.

As the Federal Renewable Fuel Strategy requirements approach, the addition of ethanol into Petro-Canada Premium gasoline is being reviewed.

If you would like to purchase premium gasoline containing ethanol, Sunoco branded stations gasolines all contain ethanol.

Regards,
