Mechanics in my area say there really is no problem with using the current mix of ethanol which is up to 10%. So far, only Chevron is adding it and have placed a sticker on their pumps indicating such. Phillips/Conoco told me they have no current plans to add this to their fuel. So I'm still not sure if this will be federally mandated at some point or not. All I know is I am currently going to only Phillips to get a top tier fuel. I had a terribly destructive experience with MTBE many years ago, which Chevron only paid for the repairs after the Toyota dealer said we've got the fuel out of the vehicle and it's the cause of all the fuel system damage. Finger crossed ethanol stays out of our fuel for the most part
