Canadian trip help!

I'm planning to visit Canada, specifically, Montreal in June. I was wondering about the octane rating of Canadian gasoline.

I was there once but I purposely filled my tank just before the border so I didn't have to purchase fuel while I was there. But this time, I will be staying for a while which means one tankful won't be enough.

Do I have to worry about it? If the system is different, what should I do?

I was thinking about buying a large fuel container and carry fuel in the trunk. Maybe it is not a good idea since it will be summer...

91 Octane is generally the most, though you can find some Sunocos with 94, if you are maniac. I run Shell Gold no probs.

Well ever since Office Dan died, Canada has been low on 91 Octane Gasoline and the government has made the Petroleum companies ration it.

You also have to get your car certified by the government to obtain 91 Octane gasoline and prove that you have an igloo to store your car during the 11 1/2 months of our artic winters.

Because of the low availability of 91 Octane the government has offered to subsidized the purchase of Dogsleds and food for the Huskys.
