Zup with some Petrocan carrying Sunoco 94??

True, unless the vehicle has adaptive software.
Just had my M coupe tuned, it's set to to 91 but it adapts to 94.
BTW
V-Power will be getting ethanol in September.

Despite growing concerns that the widespread production and use of corn ethanol is actually counter-productive to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the Canadian government is moving ahead with a mandate to require ethanol blending into all gasoline supplies. By September 2010, Canadian refiners will be required to have at least 5-percent ethanol content in all pump gas. The regulation has received cabinet approval, and if it proceeds, would require nearly half a billion gallons of ethanol annually for blending.
Recent studies have indicated that the full well-to-wheel emissions of ethanol from corn may actually increase emissions rather than reducing it. Nonetheless, the Conservative party that is currently in power in Canada has most of its support in the western provinces, which just happen to produce most of the corn as well. Gord Quaiattini, president of the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association, says that Canadian producers exceed the 20-percent emissions reduction requirement needed to be considered renewable fuels, but the Canadian calculation method is different from the US formula and does not count indirect land use.

Canadian Biofuel Industry: Western Canada Perspective and Opportunities
This document is part of the Capturing Feed Grain & Forage Opportunities 2007 Proceedings - "Farming for Feed, Forage and Fuel"
.
Key Points
* Ethanol and other bio-fuel production is a global happening and will impact on us whether we like it or not
* Canada and particularly Western Canada is ramping up to produce biofuels
* Wheat will be the main substrate for ethanol production in Western Canada and with time cellulosic ethanol will also contribute in a significant way
* The supply of cereal grain should be adequate in Western Canada to produce feed, food and fuel. The higher than high prices for grains seen presently are a result of past low commodity prices and lesser due to global ethanol production.

It's a sad day for us in the Peterborough area. The only remaining Sunoco gas station finally closed and was changed to Esso of all things. Not even a Petro Canada.
I can't get 94 octane anywhere in Peterborough or the surrounding are without having to drive for a hour and then what would be the point. I would use up the gas I just pruchased to get there and back.
I have used only Ultra 94 since I have owned the car and now I am stuck. I guess I am forced to use Shell or Petro's 91 octane now. Bummer!

Yep, I called Suncor and Petro looking for answers and Suncor didn't even answer the phone. Petro says that only the Sunoco's that have been or will be converted that have the 94 octane tanks underground already, will be carrying the fuel. The original Petro stations would have to either put more tanks in (not going to happen) or substitute the 94 for the 91 in the tanks that already exist.
What's to stop them from using 91 tanks and slapping a 94 sticker on it saying its Ultra? Hmmmmmm.
