With no dog in that fight, it’s definitely and individuals choice.

Well BRM you hit the nail on the head. I do have an 08 mercury. That just scared me away cause I seen it with my own eyes. But you are 100% correct and I didn't know that they made a different fuel line for it. You may now be starting to change my mind. Lol. But I think I'm still gonna run ethanol free cause it's not that hard for me to find and all my other stuff is older stuff too that should have the old lines in it too. But if I do have to put it in there I won't be so worried about it now. Thanks and slightly converted. Lol

Mine is an 03 mercury 250 racing engine. These were not production line engines. No way am I running anything other than high octane non ethanol

I travel quite a bit. Always fill the Rav 4 up with E10, get about 27 miles to gallon. Out in Iowa, accidentally filled up with E15 and gas mileage dropped to 23 miles per gal. While at Sturgis, SD, filled the vehicle up with pure unleaded, running same speed Getting there, going home, 80 mph, on pure unleaded, got 32 miles per gal. You also get more power burning pure unleaded. I run unleaded in all small motors, the generator, and boat. Never was sold on alcohol leaded fuel.
