    Check the manual of the car. Most cars can use E10 just fine.

    E10? pffft, every gasoline powered car can run E10. are you kidding me? E85 on the other hand needs a flex fuel sensor in the system so teh computer knows how much alcohol is in the fuel so it can adjust the air/fuel mixture and ignition timing accordingly.

    Are you talking about 10% ethanol mixed with gasoline?

    If so, all gas sold in my area has this added and hasn't effected any car adversely. The E85 can only be used in cars rated for it though.

    Since MTBE was taken out of gas, most gas sold in the US is up to 10% Ethanol.
