<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here at the shop we have been dealing with this problem for a long time
with a lot of cars. And found the same problems with all of them, some worse
than others.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Overheating due the removal of the gas and addition of the Ethanol. The
Ethanol burns hotter which reduces emissions. This causes older cars to run
hotter.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lower gas mileage and lower performance </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Miss fires and Lack of power due to the leaner mixture. The is
especially worse on a Tri Carb Healey, the rear carb will lean out on a long
hard run at a steady hight rpm. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also Ethanol has a very strong cleaning ability, So if you start using
Ethanol in a older gas tank or a tank that has been sitting for while that has a
lot of varnish build up. The Ethanol will go about its cleaning ability and
clean up all that varnish in the tank and deposit it in the carburettors. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know that there are lots of those out there that have all the techy
stuff. But I go by what I have learned by over 40 year of working on all British
cars and lots of them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The bottom line with 10 % Ethanol your Vintage car will run hotter, get
worse fuel economy and may experience miss fires under heavy acceleration.</DIV>

<DIV>OK, now I be confused. In the States, E10 is 10% ethanol, E85 is 85%
ethanol, so E95 would be 95% ethanol. Is that correct?<BR></DIV>
