[QUOTE="Late Life Crisis, post: 204026, member: 4152"] According to Dan McTeague (gaspricewizard on Twitter) the summer formulated gasoline is already in the station tanks, it was required on or about 10 April, I believe, in Ontario. Of course, that caused a bump in the pump prices by about .05 or so per litre (you probably noticed that 2 or 3 weeks ago, gas was around the 0.72/litre mark, then it jumped to mid .80's (around .84/litre or .85/litre) even though the price for oil was still spiraling downwards. About half of that jump was due to summer fuel switchover. The rest of the bump in prices was due to the "Carbon Tax" on 1 April ([B][I]April Fool!!!![/I][/B]), plus the additional HST on both increase factors. It was still 84.9 in my area (central York Region about 50 Km north of downtown Toronto) last night, haven't looked at it today. (that price is the "regular" grade, none of the stations in my area post 91+ Octane pricing except Costco). But, if you're located in a part of Canada which is finally seeing some warmer days in this highly unusual (understatement for many reasons) Spring of 2020, then it is very possible that driveability issues could occur with a tank full of older/Winter fuel.
