Just wanted to double check here...

ON the internet, it says some cars pre-1995 CANNOT take 10% Ethanol fuel.
Others say PRE-2000.

My daughter has a 1998 Honda Accord V6 Auto trans...with 220,000 miles. She has been putting 10% ethanol fuel for the last 4-5 years.

Can this car take 10% ethanol fuel? Or does she need to put in 100% gasoline?

 

Absolute B.S., E10 fuel can be safely run in pretty much anything.

 

Yup. In my state, there's very few 100% gas only gas stations and the closest one to me is over 35 miles away. We've had 10% ethanol available in my state since 1989, and it's not going away any time soon.
I run 10% ethanol in everything, including my lawn mower, or my 65 VW. My 99 Accord has run 10% ethanol ever since I got a couple of years ago, and the same applies to my wife's 2000 Accord.

Also, she shouldn't need to run mid grade or premium or E-85 in her car, as it isn't designed for it.

 

E-85 would not be a good idea because the car probably cant handle 85% ethanol.

Mid-grade or premium are pointless but probably won't do any damage. For some cars, it'll make a difference and for some it's required - but not your car. If it goes faster that's just because your wallet is lighter.

In many states they don't have to post the ethanol content on the pump unless it exceeds 10%.

 

Most states do post it on the pump. Iowa, the corn capital sells 10% ethanol about 15 cents a gallon cheaper than 100% gas at the pump. I thought it was odd the first time I saw it.

 

OK thanks everyone. Guess I won't worry about it!
