SVAO Spring 2020 newsletter available NOW. Download .pdf here The Ontario Ministry of Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (aka MOE) has posted a regulation on the Regulatory Registry to increase the ethanol content on regular gasoline (less than 89 proof) to 15% from the current average of 10% Prior to 2018 the ethanol content was mandated to a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 10%. In 2018 the MOE tried to get the standards raised to 15% across the board but backed off under protests to a minimum of 10% with a maximum of 15%. It appears that they are now trying another run only a year later. The MOE is allowing comments until March 29th.
