Formaldehyde is really only a problem in vehicles that run on methanol and its nothing that a catalytic converter can't handle.Many ethanol test vehicles and OEM FFV vehicles make less formaldehyde.Anyway, most other pollutants are decreased running ethanol, so its still much better for the environmnent than gas.An slight increase in one or two harmful emissions for a decrease in a handful of others, is a worthy trade-off if you ask me.
