Canada consumes a lot more motor fuel than the United Arab Emirates,

and shipping to Canada is cheaper, but the refinery economics are the

same. It takes more money and energy to produce higher octane fuel than

it does to blend ethanol with cheaper to produce lower octane fuel.

I note that you backed off of oil producers around the world to Middle East countries to UAE.
