Don't use ethanol in your Spridget. Ethanol mixed with gas in 20% / 80%
ratio (E-20) or higher causes engine wear. The ethanol is very corrosive
to fuel systems, bores, piston rings, etc. Expect engine life to be cut
in half. I know someone who tests this for a living, and believe me, you
don't want to do it.
