Not only that, but how much internal damage will ethanol create in vehicles that *weren't* designed for its use? There was a post on here yesterday that a FReeper had $700 worth of repairs after he filled up with gas containing ethanol.

This damage fantasy is pure unadulterated B.S. My two cars and the previous two all ran on gas with 10% alcohol with zero problems.

In addition, in Brazil where 20% alcohol is added to gasolene there was zero problems with my vehicles during the three years of driving there.

He got a tank loaded with water from a station that didn't empty out its tanks and clean and dry them; the $700 was a dealer estimate of repairs to clean and dry his fuel system.
