A few percent of ethnol can be a good thing. That's what "DryGas" and
associated winter treatment for auto gas has been for generations. It
combines with traces of water in gasolline harmlessly fgo into miscible
solution with gasoline. It all passes nicely ithrough combustion,
essentially unnoticed.

The "10% limit is the smart way to go and leave it at that.
