Though lots of ethanol in Canadian gasoline too. Hard to find any without 10% ethanol, even in jurisdictions with limited corn growing.
What caused that?
Or do the US subsidies on corn make it cost effective for Canadians to burn ethanol? If so, where’s my cheap E85? I’d run it in my old Corolla and see what happens.

Go ahead: your old Corolla will become a dead Corolla. https://blog.raleighclassic.com/is-it-safe-to-use-ethanol-in-my-older-engine/ https://blog.raleighclassic.com/is-it-safe-to-use-ethanol-in...

- UncleEntity 4y agoDo you really think they would have put those “flex fuel” badges on cars if they all could run E85 without problems? From my interwebs knowledge you need a fuel sensor (to tell the percentage of ethanol) and an ECU that can take advantage of the different fuel blendings. So, yeah, maybe not a dead car but definitely not an efficient one.
- Hello71 4y agoyes, I do think car vendors would affix stickers implying that existing features are actually new additions (worth paying extra for). I don't know if that's true in this case, but I don't think it's an argument either way.
- 1letterunixname 4y agoWhatever, pal. If you don't have anything of concrete value to contribute, then don't complain about free. :) I have one of those "classics" and have to hunt for low ethanol fuel constantly. It's a huge PITA to retrofit to modern fuel rails when custom NLA injectors are $$$$.
