That isn't possible, ethanol contains less energy per gallon than gasoline does; not to mention the long-term damage you are doing to your car since its only designed for a maximum of 10% ethanol.

Many many people have experienced the same as Brandon just described, both FFV and not. I cant explain it and neither can they but it happens. I know what you are saying though about the science behind it. It shouldnt happen.

As far as long term damage, there are plenty of non-E85 vehicles popping up after an engine tear down and there is nothing wrong with the internals. I have seen 2 instances on line already from a performance shop in SD.
