Thanks guys. I'm down to half a tank. I will probably top off with RUG and continue to run that mix for the rest of the summer. I store this vehicle in the winter and ethanol separates in as little as 30 days I am told.

This happened the first time I tried a partial blend. A 20 something guy with a turbo Subaru WRX filling his car with E85 assured me my valves would melt down and my pistons would be ruined too. It has been over a year and other than the power loss with the higher blend, everything is fine.
