Marina shores in LP gas is 109.9
I would be happy with that
Difference in price is whether it is ethanol free. Marina shores contains ethanol ( I assume 87 octane ) I got gas two weeks ago at Sandboy , paid 1.30 and it is high test 92 octane . Posts marina is also ethanol free , and pretty sure the rest of the guys at the Old Cut are as well. High test is the only fuel available that doesn’t contain ethanol , but comes with a cost !
I read that Ontario is soon to mandate 10% minimum ethanol (E-10) in in all octane blends including premium.

I'm no expert, but the way I read it is that suppliers need to maintain an average of 10%. This means that they could offset selling 0% ethanol by also selling blends higher than 10%. They also don't have to include marine gas in the math, meaning that there shouldn't be a restriction on gas sold solely for marine purposes.
Esso too. Actually Esso is the supplier for CT and Costco.
I have tested reserve gas for ethanol not that long ago and found none. This was 87 oct. Also being $0.90/L is nice.

I used to haul the stuff.
So much is tender storage and everybody lines up behind each other loading in the same racks, pulling from the same tanks. Only the additives were unique, so they claimed.
I'm sure there's situations where brand gas is just that, but I have loaded at Sunoco, Shell, Petro Canada and Esso and didn't deliver the load to one of their stations.

I always get my gas at Bear Creek Gas Station on the reserve just down the road from me. I asked them once about the ethanol and was told the regular 87 was E-10 but their 91 premium had no ethanol. I suppose it depends on which gas supplier different reserves use.
What is the small glass water method
Put about an inch of water at the bottom of a small glass jar. Mark the water level with a sharpie. Put gas in the same jar, it will float on top of the water. If the gas contains ethanol, the ethanol will separate from the gas and mix with the water, making the water level appear to have risen. If the water level stays the same, ethanol free.
There are commercially made test kits which do the same thing but the amounts of gas and water are measured, so you can tell the ethanol percentage based on how much it has risen. I only cared to test for the presence of ethanol so I didn't measure the amounts.

Thanks for that test information

Premium sourced out of Nanticoke (Imperial Oil) is ethanol free at this time. There is a project to move to 10% in the future. Nanticoke supplies all customers from Aylmer to Hamilton Mountain. Shell, PCan and Imperial each have terminals in the GTA, but there is a tremendous amount of fungible barrels in the GTA. Bottom line, Imperial Premium in this area is ethanol free.
