Replying to: cseibert (May 29, 2007 4:19 am) Here in Canada we have a gasoline company called Mohawk and they sell an Ethanol blend that contains about 7% Ethanol. I've been using this in my new AVEO on and off for the past month since I took delivery of my car and there's been no issues with this fuel. I find that the AVEO seems to get slighty better fuel economy when I use the Ethanol blended gasoline.
#4 of 6 Does Ethanol Hurt The Engine? by flaaveo Jun 20, 2008 (8:03 am)
Long story short. I JUST noticed that at my local Hess station, that I usually get me gas from, best price around me. BUT I just noticed a small sign on the pump saying that 'this gasoline contains no more than 10% ethanol', or something like that. I swear I never noticed it in 2 years of getting gas there! I could swear that the owner manual says to NEVER put ANY ethanol in the car. I have the 2006 5 door LS. Have I ruined some parts of the fuel system? Is this why I get crappy mileage? I sometime fill up at other stations and I get a whopping 2-3 extra miles per gallon. I always thought it was because of me driving SUPER careful. One time of pushing the gas pedal, and NOT driving like a little old lady, and I get 2-3 mpg less! So..does using this ethanol gas hurt it, has it already ruined parts? Or does it matter? It isnt a 'flex fuel car thats for sure. So when that type of gas turns up everywhere, they better make it work in ALL cars.

Replying to: poncho167 (Jun 20, 2008 9:44 am) Thanks for the information. I never knew that! Well these Hess stations are the only gas stations that I have EVER, in my life, seen a notice that each level of gas contains 10% or less ethanol. I never knew it was in all gas brands. Well as long as it is ok and safe...fine by me. P.S. I am in Fort Lauderdale Fla.
