YES.. it breaks down faster then the old fuel.. It can cause the gaskets to dry out faster. It can cause the gum like substance in the fuel tank, lines and injector. the will shorten the life span of the vehicle. You can fight back, first by buying and additive. Second by contacting your State Representative and telling the remove it from the fuel. It is not good to store engines with ethanol..ie; lawn mowers, motorcycles, boats etc.. some lawn equipment will void the warranty if you do not use an additive.

Where can you fine Ethanol free gas in Missouri?
All gasoline except premium is mandated to have at least 10% ethanol. Sorry. Some stations (brands) have premium with out ethanol (Missouri law allows this), the trouble is finding out who has it. Ethanol does substantial damage fast in small engines and cars older that 14 years and some damage in newer cars. Do not use ethanol with a fiberglass or plastic gas tank=engine suicide.

I am not a mechanic. However, I have notice that many more owners are having them fail prematurely ( I have had them fail in my last cars with less than 80k miles!). Dont let anybody tell you its a coincidence. I had a long conversation with a guy at a dealer and he believes that the Ethanol is making the fuel mixture too rich for cars. Every single gas station has Ethanol in the gas, so basically we are screwed.
