We've had 10% ethanol for many years in Minnesota. We have almost two dozen farmer-owned co-ops manufacturing ethanol in Minnesota. Complaints about fuel filter clogging go back about two decades, when methanol (gasohol) got a bad rap because it cleaned out the gunk in gas tanks and clogged filters. Ethanol is not the same product. Gas with ethanol does not require use of a de-icer in winter because ethanol absorbs water and keeps fuel lines clear. Complaints about ethanol requiring more energy to produce it than what is in the final product are simply BS- bad science from people paid by oil companies to produce research favorable to them. E-85 vehicles are identified as such to use fuel that is 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline. If you aren't driving an E-85 vehicle, you should not use that fuel. There is no shortage of ignorance about alternative fuels- especially about ethanol produced from US sources.
