boat gas

[MRACER]

Where to buy marked gas from Victoria to CR? Used to have it at the Petro in Ladysmith, but it is closed. Let's make a list???

I know that CO-OP before the Keating turn off on Patty Bay highway as well as the Keating CO-OP have it. Not sure where on the WCVI though. May or may not be worth the $.03/liter savings. I think Profisher has a handle on this topic or try a search as its been discussed. I like the idea of a list for towns we are not familar with... especially up island locations for us Vic boys that aren't in the know!

Most Co-ops have it, Save-On-Gas has it at Bench road in Cowichan Bay, Ballard Fuels in Chemainus, Co-op in Ladysmith, and CPS in Duncan. That's where I've got mine in the past in Cowichan/Chemainus area.

Co-op just outside of Cedar on the Old Island Highway has it. The savings are much better than 0.03/litre. Most marked gas is mid-grade octane levels.

Does someone want to make a list of all these places and post it?

Does anyone know if these locations have ethanol in their fuel? Better yet, which sites do you know are ethanol free?

All the Co-ops in Nanaimo carry marked mid grade fuel.

All the Shell stations down here dropped marked fuels.

Interesting Shell says they have no ethanol. I thought all Oil Companies had to include a minium percentage of ethanol in their fuel sales. It didn't have to be in one particular blend, just overall they had a target to meet based on EPA or other regulator agency guidelines. What I had heard is that some companies have some blends with zero ethanol while other blends have it.

The EPA doesn't have jurisdiction in Canada. Is there some Fed Govt. requirements re. ethanol in Canadian gas?

 

[pescador]

This is from Petro Can's website;
The Federal Government has regulated that motor gasoline sold in Canada after Sept. 1, 2010 must contain an annual pool average of 5% ethanol. Different provincial mandates also exist, some with higher ethanol pool requirements. Because of these mandates, most grades of Petro-Canada fuel may now contain up to 10% ethanol.
