I have been running my car on E10 for as long as it has been available without any bad effect. The rumour that ethanol was bad for your engine was started by the fuel companies because they lose money when you are not pumping CO2 and CO3 into the atmosphere. In Australia they even managed to have a maximum mix put in place, 10%. In some of the older cars ethanol did have an effect on some of the fittings in the fuel system but that problem has been overcome now.

Using ethanol in a gasoline engine can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality by burning more cleanly. However, ethanol has lower energy content than gasoline, which can lead to reduced fuel efficiency and potentially cause damage to engine components if used in high concentrations without proper modification. Additionally, ethanol can attract moisture, which may lead to fuel system issues if not addressed.
