Well I guess I've been real lucky considering we have run it in 3 cars the oldest was a 89 EFI and the newest is a 01 EFI and 5 trucks with the oldest being a 81 with a carburetor and the newest 2000, I'm not including the the one we just bought because it only has 120 miles on it and it's a Flex Fuel.

Denny it's not as bad "running" the fuel. It's the storage issue with ethanol based fuels that the #1 problem for most people. Research what Harley Davidson did and what happened to their engines with the E fuels. That's just one example.

My message is that you shouldn't tell others to do "nothing" about a well documented problem that's happened to many across the country. Especially, when there are some easy, simple and cheap preventative measures folks could do to help thwart off certain issues with E formulated fuels.
Peace out hillbilly.
