believe me, there has been ethanol in your gas for a long time, especially in large urban areas. They don't have to post it for percentages under 10%. Back when they first started using it, (in the 80's) we would take carbs apart and the gaskets would be so swolen they would close off passages. The inside of fuel lines would turn to tar. I lived in Raleigh for most of my life, back in the mid 80's I worked at a Gulf station on Six Forks, we would get all kinds of notices about ethanol content in the fuel from the suppliers
