Mine was sold a number of years ago. The buyer enjoyed it for a few years and it went off to a rusty honda heaven. I believe the engine was removed and sold to someone else but I closed my shop down and am not in touch with that anymore. I still do emissions calibrations testing but it's on more modern stuff that runs many times cleaner than engines of 5 years ago. The 25+ year old VX engine design was a significant step for honda.
For ethanol, E10 is the most they're allowed for all vehicles. Newer cars around 2008+ can all tolerate E15 but it's not as common as you'd think. It drops the CO emissions a little - maybe 8-10% average but it also consumes more fuel. It was more of a cost saving deal because of the ever increasing cost to get a barrel of oil out of the ground.
These days when people ask me how to increase fuel mileage I tell them maintenance and the seat to steering wheel interface. The second part has the biggest impact. Other than that, get rid of that old vehicle because new ones are way more efficient on both emissions and consumption.
