My cars (2 Chevy Blazers,) manuals say they are OK with alternative fuels - which I have taken to mean that the ethanol won't harm the fuel systems. tried a couple of tanks of E-85 a while back. No problems with running, or starting, but fuel economy dropped substantially, and the check engine lite came on a couple times, reading an oxygen sensor malfunction. Cleared it, and went back to E-10, and have been running it with no problems. Apparently my car's computer won't handle the E85 correctly, so if the manufacturer doesn't come out and say in the manual that they are OK on E-85, I would stay away from it. Many vehicles, especially the older ones have fuel system components that are damaged by ethanol.
