<VV> RE: Ethanol? filter problems?

[corsaconvertible]

I've used ethanol in everything exclusively, when available, since
1974. Several cars have over 100,000 miles on them with ethanol.  No
problems, all cars were daily drivers, just preventive extra fuel
filter changes for awhile. Many people have purchased ethanol
unknowingly when they bought high octane gas.

All cars have started within a couple seconds at below 0 degrees
Fahrenheit to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Gas mileage when checked
always was in the same range as people I've asked with the same type
of car.

Cars include 1955 T'Bird, '65 Corvair Corsa, 1975 Cosworth Vega, '64
Buick Skylark, 1998 and 2001 Olds Aurora, 1995 LHS, 1992 Riviera, 1991
Lexus SC 400 , 1970 Camaro, 1979 Dodge full size van, 1981 Ford
conversion van, 1991 Taurus, 1992 Toyota Previa, 1995 Taurus SHO.

1973 Vega need was an exception, it needed a new carburetor float. 

Riding and push mowers, 1970 Kawasaki Bushmaster.

BTW, I'm not a farmer. My daughter was born in Orange county
California which was my home for 13 years. Raised and presently live
in Iowa.
