Based on your handle "Bluenose" i'll assume your in NS, as I am. I work in a job that exposes me to the "chemistry" of oil company products. In mainland NS, Ultramar and Esso stations both recieve product from the Esso refinery in Halifax. The only difference would be additives, usually added at time of pick-up, specific to each oil company. Irving on the other hand, for the most part, recieves their fuel from the Irving Oil refinery located in Saint John, NB. The Irving Oil refinery is the largest in Canada, and just went through a major overhaul. Quality wise the product they produce is hands down the highest quality available, from a number of perspectives. For example, testing has shown content to be less than 10 ppm, versus the Ontario average of around 450 ppm. There is also virtually no residual long chain hydrocarbons (wax, etc.). It is an extremely hiigh quality product. As a matter of fact they are the only recipient of the "Auto Makers' Choice" Gasoline designation.

I switched to there regular grade and my check engine light comes on, on average, briefly once or twice a month. It was 2-3 times a month with Esso, P-C, and Ultramar.
(P.S. I DON'T WORK FOR THEM, OR ANY OIL COMPANY)
