Alberta has a few outlets (Mohawk) with partial ethanol. It was slightly cheaper than regular, but not enough to be interesting.

My objection to most ethanol is that it uses land that should be left in forest or grassland, or in food production. Brazil is a big user, and forest land is suffering.

I can't see the objection to current gasoline prices, insofar as individual use is concerned. Pretty much in line with general cost of living increases. Some localities have high local tax percentages which don't help- remember that they get a higher take when the price is high.
It does cause commercial carriers problems, since shippers by truck change to rail (good!) or receive fewer contracts.
