As of Wed. Aug.9 I can confirm that Ultramar Supreme sold in Saint Isidore Ontario has no ethanol in it because I tested it (it ain't rocket science).
The Ultramar website now states:
"We follow Canada's Clean Fuel Standards (Federal and Provincial regulations) and are pleased to offer our customers lower-carbon fuel options where available. Ultramar gasolines may contain up to 10% ethanol."
Does "lower- carbon fuel options" mean "containing ethanol" ?
In May 2023 their website stated:
"Do we add ethanol to our Ultramar gasoline?
We follow Canada's Clean Fuel Standards (Federal and Provincial regulations) and are pleased to offer our customers lower-carbon fuel options where available. All Ultramar service stations sell 87 Octane fuel, which contains up to 10% ethanol, except in Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and the Quebec City region, where 87 Octane fuel is still ethanol-free. For 91 Octane fuel, all regions have up to 10% ethanol content except for the Provinces of Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and New Brunswick, where 91 Octane fuel is still ethanol-free. We indicate on the pump or by the grade selectors if the gasoline does not contain ethanol or contains up to 10% ethanol." Fuel produced at their refinery in Levis, I guess.
I'll keep testing my local Ultramar Premium and post the results.
