You can say anything you want but you won't change my mind on 10 % corn gas, I've been using it for years in all my play and work trucks(now just play trucks)with no problems. I also use it in my generators, lawn mowers and outboard motor, the last time I had any problems with a generator was with the varnish regular gas left behind. I've also left in our 01 Alero for just short of 2 years with 10% in it, it started right up and ran fine.

Good for you!
So what kind of engine does an 01 Alero have? Fuel injected engines do not suffer from the evaporation of the fuel, leaving the "syrup" residue....
As for your other engines... I too have many working engines, mowers, saws, gen's etc that have not had a problem with sitting 6 mod or so... BUT...
Just remove the float bowl and look see.....
Take a few oz of 10% ethanol gas and let it evaporate and see what you have ...
Do that with 0% ethanol gas and see what you have....
The final thing that many of us are being vocal about is the reduced performance of the ethanol'ed gas... A 10% or more reduction in performance is basely a 10% tax for us!
