You need to do research. Ethanol not only eats rubber hosed, but seals, o-rings, soft metals like aluminum, accelerates condensation inside fuel tanks and systems, goes stale faster, and, oh yeah, pollutes.

This absurb abuse of power affects the poor the most and just about anyone in the car hobby, weekend gardners, motorcyclists, recreational vehicles, including boats.

But other than all of this, its totally fine.

Carry on...

And I should have mentioned another important point...

Its a less efficient fuel, requiring more energy to burn and producing less fuel economy.

So when the gubbmint pushes CAFE standards to boost fuel mileage standards, they exacerbate the problem by pushing less efficient fuel.

I have ten vehicles that range from a 1971 BMW motorcycle to a 1971 plymouth duster to a 2014 Ford focus. They all seem to run fine. Would they run better with pure gas, probably. Like I said in a previous post, I’d rather let the market provide our fuels without government intervention.
