I'm in the Mid-Atlantic area that is having our gas cut with 10% ethanol. What, if any, effects will this have on my Camaro? I've been told to expect a slight decrease in economy, but will the fuel system have any issues with it? Many years ago, there was a fuel called "Pepco", which was, (I think), 100% ethanol. Being cleaner than petroleum fuel, there were tons of issues with killing fuel filters as it cleaned up the fuel system, as well as causing butyl rubber fuel lines to collapse.

Could be fact ... Could be propaganda ... it's the internet ...

The last paragraph is propaganda. Burns cleaner, by what standard?

Anyway, my first tank of E10 in my truck showed an improvment in fuel economy. I'm guessing it was becuase ethanol is a great fuel system cleaner and my truck probably needed it. The tank after that has been horrible. I'm seeing a 12% decrease in range for a tank of gas in my truck, so that should be 12% less mpg. I don't drive my wifes Honda enough, but I know her range is less as well. I need to run a tank of fuel through the Camaro without autoXing to be able to tell. I always get bad average milage from autoXing.
