bad but not the end of the world.... we've been forced to use E10 in the US for a few years now... all of those older engines survive, just with poorer fuel economy, that's all!

fact is, all of these engines were designed to run with at least E10.... E10 has been available in America for decades on a limited basis, so the engines were engineered for that... those same engines get put in overseas versions of the same cars or variants... even the owner's manual from the 90s says it's ok to run E10 although not preferred

pure petrol is obviously better, but you're making such a big deal out of this... it's not a big deal running E10.... millions of americans forced to use this piss haven't have too many problems (yes there has been, but isolated cases)
