I went to get gas this afternoon (the first since monday) and to my surprise a big white sticker said "May contain 10% Ethanol" on the pump. I got a bit worried. I guess the good ole state of Kentucky recently passed some "Cleaner Fuel" act or somthing. :?

Is gas with 10% ethanol ok to put in my gas tank? I already put premium in it. I know the new cars have to be special to burn E85, but I just want to be sure my car is safe. :D

Thanks!

See this thread. Do the fuel line mod, go through and replace all the flex hose in your fuel system (including the short piece back at the tank) with Fuel Injection hose stamped "30R9", make sure you're using a metal fuel filter, and be prepared for poorer fuel economy.

I did the fuel line mod quite awhile ago, even before I converted to the super six. Poorer fuel economy? I can barley afford to fead the beast at 17 mpg city!
