Here in Alberta, the majority of fuel is non blended. There are two gas stations, Husky and Mohawk, that sell the blended stuff. All others sell the straight stuff.

Ethanol and E85 are hoaxes (hoaxi?). Unless you do run boosted and very high compression ratios, it's useless. It costs WAY more to produce than gasoline, and still has to be transported by good ol' diesel.
