Up here in Ontario, what used to be Co-Op , UPI, and at least one
other non-Sunoco supplier used 10% Ethanol.

Shell Premium has NO Ethanol, and according to shell, never will.

Yeah for now but Dalton has promised that we'll all be burning 10% by
2009. Now they need to build more ethanol plants to meet the
legislated need. Most of the corn will come from Michigan cuz it's so
much cheaper there.
Ethanol fuel is a crock anyway, particularly when made from corn, as
so much of the fertilizer required to get a good corn crop is
petroleum based. Ethanol is pretty much a wash when produced from
corn. Gotta use elephant grass, or other non-fertilizer intesive
biomass if ethanol is going to be ANY kind of a solution.
