Mr. Howe:

High octane gasoline is made at Calgary in limited quantities, but about ninety per cent of our 100-octane gasoline is imported from the United States. To supply Canada a very large expenditure would have to be made; and since the trend is toward jet flying-and of course jets use low grade fuel-it is not felt that the very large investment involved is warranted at this time.
