Flexfuel vehicles are a joke. They just have a few gaskets and rubber lines replaced with materials that won't corrode under high alcohol concentrations. E10 is too diluted to do anything.
I say look at the big picture. You are losing 3% in mileage to vastly increase the health of yourself and the environment. Not all things of value have $ signs preceding them.

What's interesting is that ethanol, gallon to gallon, is generally cheaper than gasoline. Premium gasoline, which contains more ethanol by volume, is
more expensive than regular.
