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.

Denny,
My experience also. (Re no issues.)
Add me to this group.
I have been using ethanol based gasoline for over 25 years, because I used to be a supporter of it. I am not anymore, but my issues are with the tax break it is given, and using a food source (livestock, not people, get serious) as fuel. Let it live or die on its own, on an equal tax basis.
Yes, if I have a choice, I will now choose straight gas products, but I sure don't worry if only ethanol is available.
I get a kick out of threads like these. Methanol was VERY hard on rubber components. Too many people think ethanol is as bad. It isn't. If the engine is used regularly, you will not have a problem. If the engine sits with no use, you will have problems. Yes I have seen a decrease in fuel mileage as people have said, but I have never noticed a 10% decrease. That is snake oil talk. :)
