Mark, I"ve never had any problems with rubber products swelling with 10% ethanol. When I first put it in my 1971 Chevy, it had something like 70,000 miles on it. That was probably in the 80"s. Since the alcohol is a cleaner, it cleaned the fuel tank, lines, etc and plugged the fuel filter. I replaced the filter a couple of times, but other than that, no problem. That"s the only car I ever had any problems with. I"ve run it new in chevys, dodges and a host of volkswagens with no problem at all. The state of Iowa runs 85% corn alcohol (E85) in many of their cars. My bother-in-law"s chrysler mini van, and many other new vehicles will run on E85 from the factory. The computer adjusts to it and away you go. Somewhat less gas mileage is normal with ethanol. 10% corn gas is about 10 cents a gallon cheaper here in Iowa, partly due to taxes. I"m not sure about E85. I"d sure like to see our economy depend more on corn and soybeans and less on foreign oil..... K
