Lets just say a guy working at the station may not be the best source for information .
pure-gas.org is user updated and highly inaccurate. Don't rely on it.
For ethanol free gas you will have to buy premium.
Three fuel companies that will always have ethanol free at any of their stations (in Ontario) are:
Shell premium (usually the most expensive)
Ultramar premium
Canadian Tire premium.
There may be others, perhaps Costco but the 3 above will have ethanol free.

Would be nice if that website also listed spots with dedicated premium pumps. Then you get only ethanol free premium instead of a hose full of ethanol regular to start. The Komoka Shell has a dedicated pump and is not even listed there under Komoka ethanol free. One in North end of Woodstock as well.
Also worthy to note, although Petro Canada has ethanol free 91, their 94 has 10% ethanol and engine runs noticeably hotter with it. Made the mistake of using Petro 94 for a while.

I'd like to, to avoid the alcohol
currently riding an older, carbed bike
and that stuff is not good for it
but it runs like crap on the higher octane
last tank of the year is 91 alcohol free
the rest is typical regular gas
No line to speak of in Guelph on any given week night. Don’t go on weekends though.

Barrie is also good if you avoid the weekends. I normally either drive right to a pump or wait for one car.
I went once in scarbourough. That sucked. About 45 minutes to get through.
Newmarket was normally about 15 minutes so I would only stop for gas on the occasions where there was a wait of two cars or less.
If getting gas for toys/yard stuff, I just top of the car with premium and fill 15 gallons of cans so I don't have to do it that often.
My bike runs like crap and gets terrible fuel economy on premium - I literally loose over 50KM of range, and it's repeatable.
I burn good old 87 all summer long and have zero problems - it is what the bike calls for as well...but a tank of gas rarely sits more than 5-7 days in my bike, sometimes only hours, so I have zero concerns about phase separation or anything.
My last tank of the season I'll fill it with stabilized ethanol free for the winter.
In short, if you actually ride your bike enough to burn a tank of gas every 1-2 weeks, and your engine doesn't require high octane, IMHO you're wasting your money - same goes for your car.
