Increase in ethanol in gasoline

dannonebr

Well put! I figure it's really a marketing thing and collecting the government subsidies to build and sell ethanol. Most farmers who grow corn that I know don't put ethanol in their farm gasoline tanks.

MY MAIN QUESTION IS - Since E10 will be disappearing and higher blends of ethanol will be soon replacing it, has anyone had EXPERIENCE with using higher mixes of ethanol like E15 or E20+ in their STOCK late model Z34s 'without' costly modifications to stock ECUs and injectors? I want a vehicle I can still drive on a road trip for 1000 or 2000 miles without having to worry about the effects, drive-ability issues of higher blend ethanol gas, or having to add snake oils to off set the issues. Don't get me wrong, I do indeed LIKE my 370Z! If the late model 370Zs have significant problems with E15, E20, etc., then it's time to trade before potential buyers figure out these cars have problems with the new government mandated ethanol gas being shoved down our throats. I've owned many vehicles over the last couple of decades, it really sucks being stuck in the boonies because of over blended ethanol or old ethanol a gas station still had in it's tank. Some vehicles are really sensitive to the fuel they use.
