Saying that ethanol can hurt your tanks or engine is just rubbish. If they can stand up to gasoline, which can remove paint and dissolve rubber, it can take ethanol, which is so mild you can use it to clean sensitive electronics. There is so much misinformation when it comes to the new ‘green’ fuels it’s astonishing. I run my car on 100% ethanol and I couldn’t be happier. It’s less than half the price at the pump, burns so clean you can put your nose to the tailpipe and it just has a faint alcohol smell and it is “good” for the environment (carbon neutral). It’s also a renewable resource, employs a great deal of people and, although imperfect, is a step toward the inevitable weaning off oil. What’s the big deal with 10% or 15% ethanol content in your gas? You wouldn’t know it was there unless someone told you it was. Furthermore, I really don’t believe people are cutting down forest in the US to plant corn to make ethanol. Where did you get this information from?
