Gas stations only put in 10% ethanol, which isn't enough to worry about. From what I've learned while living in an ethanol producing state (could be biased), it doesn't affect newer rubber seals, but it has the same true octane lowering characteristics as oxygenated gas, so be careful when putting it in a turbo car.

Oh, and unfortunately I didn't participate in actually making that picture *sigh* just got it off the listed site.
Maybe once I get my reliability mods in, I don't have a front license plate anyway

I thought that ethenol was bad for cars... They made a big thing out of it on T.V,
