In my much younger days I was not as careful when purchasing mogas. I am sure that some ethanol got by. I never did see any ill effects other than a lot of water in the fuel. Does Ethanol absorb water?

I just can not see any clear negatives for using gas with ethanol. Even if it would burn your engine up in 1000 hours it still seems like a financially advantageous way to go. Where I live Avgas is much more costly than auto fuel.

I wish we had a clear future to depend upon. Currently it seems as thought ht powers that be are going to do away with 100LL and leave us to deal with ethanol auto fuel.
