[snip] Thank you for the information, but 10% ethanol has been commonplace in many parts of the US for about 25 years. My 2 cars have rarely used anything else because an "oxygenator", typically ethanol, is required in my area. There were a few problems with carbureted cars (and there were many more around back then) when this first became available, but after the built-up varnish was cleaned out, most cars operated without a problem on 10% ethanol.
