Oh, I do not buy for a minute than I am saving the envirnoment because of 10% ethanol. More CO2 is made growing and making the fule than is saved. It is a shell game and you will never get the right answer.
Wake up people, what's it take to make you understand what's really going on here. It's all about money and nothing more. If you get less mileage what does that mean, dah, more frequent fill ups. What does that mean, dah, more revenue for state and federal from gas taxes.

Chime in anyone.
Maybe creates more deposits of combustion when not used in a airplane engine?
