So, it sounds like it's not that big of an issue if the car doesn't sit. Ethanol can have its benefits, if the car was designed for it that is.
Overall though mandating ethanols presence everywhere is a real shame, it's worse for reliability, the environment, the federal budget, gas mileage, and in most cases performance.
The only people who benefit from gov mandated ethanol fuel are Iowa caucus corn farmers and misinformed environmentalist. (It's not worth the extra farm equipment, land, transportation of corn, and cars filling up more often, for no real change in emissions in the cars end, just a slightly smaller dependence on fossil fuel.
