UNSEEN WATER MIXED IN YOUR GAS!
I doubt if any engine is designed for this mix (d), so don't give it to your engine.
Only a little bit of water can be in solution with gasoline and ethanol. After it saturates the alcohol will come out and you'll have puddles of alcohol and water under the gasoline. Methanol is much better at mixing them up. That's why dry gas is methanol and not ethanol.
