Besides, computer 'tuning' parameters, I think those EXX vehicles also have gaskets, seals and other parts that are less susceptible to corrosion, water presence (as with that which collects in E gas). Regardless, there is about an estimated less mileage efficiency of 3-4%.....
What possible reason could burning 100% gas be worse than burning 85% gas?
That's a serious question, I have no idea how those engines are designed.
It seems the e85 fad is waning. Lawd I hope so.
Like I've always said. Government mandated, taxpayer funded Iowa corn hoor subsidy....to me, that's all you need to know...
Running any of today's gas in pre 1973 cars will beat the hell out of the valves. The lead in the gas was used to lubricate the valves. Most older cars and trucks have been upgraded with hardened valve seats if it has been rebuilt. If it's original unleaded gas causes nthe valved to stick to the valve seats and eventually will loose compression and damage the valvetrain. You have to use fuel additive if the engine is original pre 1973-1974 model.What possible reason could burning 100% gas be worse than burning 85% gas?

With respect, the question of lead or the lack thereof in E-gas or unleaded gas isn't the question. It's about how all the engine parts associated with the fuel train are made less susceptible to the harmful effects of moisture and corrosion caused by ethanol presence in the gas - essentially made hardened to its effects along with 'tuning' of computer controlled ignition parameters.
