[QUOTE="John d, post: 1110241, member: 21062"] Ethanol in gas is an issue that in my part of Canada that has been addressed by Shell Canada. As far as I know, a fuel company such as Shell must sell a certain percentage of ethanol in relation to the total volume of fuel sold. How to distribute this ethanol between the various blends (regular- Bronze, mid-grade - Silver, and V-power premium) is left up to them. Shell sells their premium product (V-power) with no ethanol in it, at least in my part of Canada. I have seen this on their pumps a number of times, but was wondering if that was old information, left on the pumps. Today I decided to set the bike up for winter, or at least make sure there was Stabil in a full tank of gas, in case I don't ride until spring (March). I headed out to a brand new station in Kitchener ON, and there is was again, on the pumps, V-power gas contains no ethanol. I filled up at $5.05/gal USD or $1.40/litre CAD. At least one company is doing something for the consumer. I don't know of any other fuel company in Canada that offers this. I wouldn't use this gas any other time, because premium isn't required for the FJR, but for putting the bike up for winter, it's acceptable. [/QUOTE]
