Ethanol - 15-20%?

Oil is like cocaine, addicting. This is like our drug dealers cutting the product with baking soda, or worse, rat poison!

civilization itself, as we know it, could not exist w/o oil.

deal with the fact that the whole industrialized world needs oil.

That "50% engine damage" claim is unsupported and unsupportable. The EPA has run tests that found no problems with E20 in cars built since 2000. Toyota at this time only recommends 10%, but I anticipate no problems with a Yaris.

A bit over a year ago I read either here, on Toyota World or on CleanMPG, I forget which, someone's post about experimenting with blends of the standard E10 and E85 to see where the Yaris' ECU ran into mixture control problems due to the leaning effect of added ethanol. He started seeing check engine lights near 50% ethanol.
