That turns out to be a fable. Vehicles built since the early 80's use rubber and plastics that are not susceptible to alcohol. The biggest concern with E85 is its ability to absorb water and hence corrode ferrous metal parts.

Nope. Modern flex fuel car fuel lines are different composition than normal E10 fuel lines.

i recently saw a gas station that stated their premium had no ethanol in it...my tank was full, else i would have filled up with it and seen what the difference was.
