Ethanol Mandate for Iowa?

so.

What I've read in a number of places is that there are problems with issues
similar to vapor lock in aircraft. Since gasahol doesn't seem to be causing
problems in cars that cross the Rockies, it seems to me that this wouldn't be a
proble for a pilot who rarely exceeds 10,000' ASL.

If vapor problems are actually the issue, perhaps an STC with altitude limits is
in order?
