There are some who say that E10 or E15 are actually worse than E5 and E20.

I've had to replace fuel pumps because of E10. Stupid rubber gasket dissolving stuff that stays in my tank too long because I don't drive as much as I should. Unfortunately, thanks to government mandate, 90% of the fuels on the market here are E10.

Talked to the manager of one of the big Euro brands around here. He hates the stuff. Tells his customers to stick to high octane boutique fuels without E10, because he gets too many cars coming in due to varnish in the fuel systems.

If you only drive your car occassionally, E10 can be a very costly mistake.
