How well are our classic XS's and other older vehicles going to run on the blended ethanol fuels? looks like it will become more common than not in the near future.

We had blended fuel in Iowa since the early 80's when I got my xs - ran fine then runs fine now. The mixture is no different then adding a can of HEAT to a CAR tanks worth of gas. Keeps the moisture out as a side benefit.
