You do not want to add water to Gasoline though, the fuel pump will pick up slugs of water and make it run like crap. Now people do use as little as 160 proof ethanol in certain cases. It burns cooler than pure Ethanol but it has even less energy density. The goal in that case would either be to run in a special high compression engine or to be cheaper than making pure Ethanol. I've heard it's twice as energy intensive to turn 190 proof into 200 proof but I haven't verified it. But I believe that is why Brazil uses ethanol will a little bit of water left in it.

Allch Chcar, I checked with my uncle just for you and he confirmed he put the lid on his mason jar, and screwed it tight to keep air out.

I'm sorry for the confusion. Current Gasoline starts to go bad in about 3-4 weeks.
