Thanks. My 2005 Audi A4 suffered great engine problems unless you pretty much hand-made your own gasoline in your private Cuisinart food processor. Now I wonder if it was an ethanol problem. (However, that car was a bit of a lemon...)

Hopefully E10 will still be available somewhere. What a rock and a hard place to be between--the congressional measures passed without regard to the public--the public and its cars--the car manufacturers and their refusal to honor the car's warranty.

I believe that's called a double bind. As usual, the consumer takes the hit.
