I'm talking about new engines that were designed for E10 ... they have the EPA badge on them that says what spec they met and how long they are rated to be compliant for or something like that. One of my friends owns one of the largest shops around here that deals in all the top name brands. Not a one of them believes Ethanol is good for engines. We have the largest (maybe not now but used to be) man made lake in the US here and the boating industry is of the same mind.
The entire premise of the idea is flawed and is nothing but a way to create markets that fleece the masses, waste tax dollars, create regulations (follow the money), compete and drive up food prices ... all in the name of saving the planet while it actually does more damage than what real gas used to (I'm ignoring the MTBFE issue in that statement) and all the while delivering less MPG because most people don't know or care what BTU is. And those fuel systems that had to be made out of material that resists corrosion don't make engines more expensive at all.
