They'll try their best based on availability and contracts in place but outages, shutdowns, etc. also influence this. You also said "here"... Shell stations on the west coast (ie, Squamish) have 10% blended ethanol in them leading me to believe that their fuel is NOT coming from the Scotford refinery despite the Shell logo on the pumps.

I am however curious that if the "fly-by nights" as you put it get their gas from the same refinery what makes the Shell pump better?
