Ethanol Fuel-Your experience?

[Brucelee]

This may not apply to all but I recently moved to Iowa where Ethanol fuel (10%) is a big deal. I have been using it since I moved here in Nov as it is the best octane for the price.

Perhaps as coincidence, my Lexus now has a bad fuel injector. When I inquired at the dealership, the mgr told me that "off the record" none of the techs will use ethanol. They believe that a rash of new fuel system issues started to show up shortly after ethanol became king.

Also, they suggest that their own cars simply do not run right on ethanol. Many point to ethanol's lower energy per gallon issue but regardless, they won't use it.

I thought I would pass this along and ask if anyone else has had an issues.

As for me, I am going back to BP premium after I get the car back.
