Is this possibly a little overblown ? I agree the crap seems to cause havoc with my rarely used generator carb, but I have 2 oldies from 1972 and they've been running on 10% ethanol (and 91 octane only) for 10yrs now and.... nothing... at all... Granted MFI, not carburated, and I check fuel and oil lines as part of regular maintenance, but all I ever do is add some stabil marine if the car will not be running for a month due to a repair, nothing else..

Would I prefer no ethanol and not subsidising the corn lobby, sure... But you'd expect burning MGBs at every corner and I'm not seeing that. Just wondering.
