Yeah, I was wonder how every gas powered peice of equipment I own managed to stay running with me pouring in that liquid acid. You'd think my 59 Caddi would have just rolled over and died with that terrible stuff eating the innards of the engine out like a terminal case of cancer. Some of the older electronic fuel injection systems can't adjust for 10% enthanol and your mileage will suffer a bit. Newer systems can (seem to?) self adjust and get nearly the same mileage (I noticed this a lot with my 92 Grand Marquis bit not at all on my 2004 Grand Marquis). Never owned a carbed vehicle that was "tuned" so precise that that 10% blend made a differance.
The biggest problem people have with older equipment is that the 10% ethenal will "clean" out a sludged up system and clog the fuel filter.
