0% ethanol at every station in Canada

but i dont get it .. why would they do that in a country where we have cold winter ... theres no way all the car that run premium fuel will all have their fuel line freezing ... it must have something to do with old car or engineering issue.... are modern car (like 2010+) have special engineering that make fuel line less likely to freeze ? even with 0 ethanol

There must be somehow to also get some water in the tank. There could be something different in how the fuel is handled that mixes it differently or the fact the fuel filter is 20x as large on the X5 that the other car isn't affected. It could be the high compression engine more affected. In any case I would definitely add some antifreeze to the X5 gas when temp is below freezing.
