It's because Husky = Mohawk and has the highest ratio of ethanol.

High ethanol blends are more corrosive and you will also get worse fuel economy off of this stuff than anything else.

Sadly, in Calgary, it's the only option to get 93+ octane from a pump for those with cars tuned for it. I wish we would get Chevron here.
