I have been reading up on ethanol since I saw your post. Some guys are running higher %'s of Ethanol to Gasoline than E-10 in regular engines.

Based on what I've read so far, I think anything more than about 30% ethanol may really wreak havoc on your car's timing and injection systems.


E85 vehicles have bigger injectors because more fuel is required to run the car-mileage goes down about 25%. Also corrosion of the fuel system seems to be a big concern.

It just seems like a lot to gable with for relatively little gain...

I will read further and may experiment with my '96 Taurus daily driver on some blends stronger than 10% which I have already been using...
