I guess ethanol does indeed have its downsides, as Cyber370 pointed out so well.
Gasoline Expiration - Ethanol Blend Fuels Have a Short Shelf Life

I hope the above link overstates the problem. I'd hate to think that after 3 months I'd have to siphon a full tank of gas out of the Z and somehow haul a full tank's worth of gas back to, and re-fill the stored Z.

I suppose I could also add some Drygas

Here in the states there is an app. Pure gas. If that isn't available in Canada, I found most boat marinas that sell gas and small air ports sell ethanol free gas!
Boats and air planes can't use gas with ethanol. And in the case of air ports you can get 100/ 104 octane!
