We have probably had some small amount of ethanol in fuel here for years too as part of the 'cocktail', but the proper 10 percent ethanol fuel is very new, only being available here for not much more than a year or so since the federal government changed the legislation so that there are 'incentives' to make ethanol-based fuels available to consumers. Shell was the first to launch one - Optimax Extreme is what they call their 10 percent ethanol blend here. So most people have no experience with it here, and I think a lot of people are reluctant because of the potential problems with running older cars on it (not just Saab's).
