Another issue with E10/E15/E85 and older cars is that ethanol is quite a solvent. When E10 first hit the market, me and several friends had to replace carburetors on small engines as it dissolved and pushed varnish into the carb. Then as the implements sat unused over the winter, the ethanol evaporated and left the varnish in it's new home.
