You might have been hearing some talk about the potential harm that ethanol gasoline has on your vehicle(s). According to the EPA ethanol gas will reduce your fuel economy approximately 3%. Many people are realizing these effects are sometimes greater than the average 3%. Besides reduced mileage, ethanol aggressively attracts water, which leads to poor driveability and other issues. Ethanol is also corrosive to some metals and rubber, and while an oft-cited issue in the ethanol debate, the corrosion problem doesn’t seem to show up much in the modern automotive sphere. However, water absorption is a real issue in classic car, marine, outdoor and aviation arenas. For these reasons, a lawsuit against the ethanol blend mandate has been filed by some auto and boat makers, plus outdoor equipment companies [1].
