This was my response to someone (Canadian) who thought that 10% ethanol fuel was a good thing:
Bad idea, your mpgs will go down about 6%. Thats around $2.00 CDN extra hidden costs when you fill the tank. Ethanol will not clean your injectors or combustion chamber. The 10% ethanol fuels produce more emissions as you burn more fuel. The 'added oxygen' is not available as this is like pre burnt fuel. Ethanol has around 1/2 the combustion energy of gasoline feed stocks. The ethanol fuels are a complete waste of time and money with a modern engine management system, unless you manufacture ethanol and you can get goverment handouts in the way of tax relief, and 6% higher sales at the pumps!
