Re: ethonal gas???
Check your owner's manual.
It specifically addresses ethanol. Also, several posts showed up when I searched for ethAnol, mostly about converting to e85, but a few addressed e10 and its pro's and cons.

Happens to the best of us.
There is a website dedicated to finding gas without ethanol in it: http://pure-gas.org/
I tried that stuff out and did notice an improvement in mileage, but not enough to offset the 0.30-0.50 per gallon price increase over E10. But... if you do find a reasonably priced ethanol free station, i'd say go for it.

Re: ethonal gas???
what about the lucus fuel treat ment thats supposed to help take the ethanol out
Re: ethonal gas???
I don't see such a product being really beneficial unless your car especially doesn't like E10 at all.

Re: ethonal gas???
You can't take the ethanol out....that lucas product may help moisture burn...but if it's being marketed as being able to take ethanol out, it's BS.
E10 will work fine, but as others mentioend you may get less gas mileage. The up-side to premium with ethanol is that its octane rating is higher than standard premium and you will have a smaller chance of detonation.
