It should run on it if a reflash program is made for the computer. Testing in Fla and other states has shown that currently we are using concentrations of ethanol all over the board. From 12-30% depending on the station remaining fuel in storage and the delivery system.
Many of my service technician friends are testing fuel concentrations to diag driveability problems
To ease your mind the new pumps will have selector controls that will allow older vehicles to use e-10 and flex fuel vehicles can use anything up to e-85
It was easy for them to make the fuel a nightmare for the infrastructure and the people with older vehicles. In NY all of a suddend this year we are seeing non-ethanol preminium at certain stations. You pay more for it.
Ethanol keeps the cost of our Gas down $1.00 or more. It's all a nightmare for the consumer.
