I heard it clogs fuel pumps over time.

"Phase Separation" is a big problem in gasolines with above 10% and below 85% Ethanol.......what we need is 0% Ethanol....PERIOD!!:argue: :mad2:

AAA has anounced just how bad it is even for newer cars. Alot of manufacturers have announced if E-15 is used in their brand new cars, the manufacturers warranty will be void.

Ethanol is nasty stuff. It absorbs water like a sponge.

I hate running E10.

If I know the car will be sitting for a while, like the winter time, i'll fill it with non-ethanol since I can get it pretty easily around here. I'll run ethanol if I'm on a trip or something where it will be burned out fairly quick.

If you ever wonder what ethanol in general does, take apart a small engine carb that's ran it for even one season. It honestly looks like grits.
