The key word in that answer is tolerant. Being able to tolerate something most certainly doesn’t mean it’s what is optimal. Many people don’t have problems using e10% fuel, right up until the point when they do. The only way to be certain you won’t have ethanol related issues is to use ethanol free fuel. I use ethanol free fuel because I can’t tolerate showing up at my Villages home, only to find out my carts fuel delivery system is gummed up with ethanol residue.
