E85 is not any more corrosive than E10. By the way, the Federal Government only requires notification of the ethanol at the pump if it is at 10% or higher. The oil companys have been blending alcohol in fuel since the long gas lines of the seventies. They had to do it. The octane was so low in the new unleaded fuel that the older vehicles didn't like unleaded. So they put the alcohol in to help with the octane rating. While everyone was in a panic about the fuel shortage, there were actually large reserves of gasoline in storage. As you know, gasoline goes stale after a while so the alcohol was blended in to make it sale-able to the consumer.

I just have a hard time understanding why people believe the oil companies when thay say this stuff will ruin you car. And don't believe this bunk that ethanol cost more to produce than gasoline. It cost less. And yes the mash that is left from the process can still be fed to livestock. The corn is still corn....it has just had the alcohol removed.
