[QUOTE="no_slow_svt, post: 9096796, member: 2879"] Ethanol is added to fuel at the truck loading rack and it actually brings the fuels octane up to the pump rated octane. no its only 10% it will not harm anything, to run E85+ you will because there isnt much for lube in the Ethanol. where as the E10...lol or 10% blend...what ever you want to call it, still has 90 % normal gas in it, so it still has all the normal lubes in it. So NO, 10% wont hurt your car in any way. its the only kinda gas that my car has seen in its life besides the race fuel. it absorbs water. so if there is a couple water droplets in your tank it will suck it up, but if you draw your tank way empty(where the water would be settled) than i would rather it go threw my engine absorbed/mixed with the ethanol than just pure droplets running through my motor. Ethanol is the main thing used in that Heat product. which is used to keep your fuel lines from freezing, because ethanol will absorb the water making it almost impossible to freeze the water at that point. I do agree with the gas mileage part, but the 10% blend is barely noticable, The E85 guys will have to add roughly 30 % more fuel to do what pump gas will do, but the E85 is like a high octane race fuel for a fraction of the price.
