My local gas station sells ethanol blend gas:

Will there be any problem if I start using this gas? I have only used "regular" in my 2000 VX. (57K miles)
Thanks in advance for your input and help,

The owners manual only specifies NOT to use fuel that contains Methanol. I have used the 10% ethanol blend and not experienced any issues but do believe I get less MPG from it which will also occur in the colder months already.
Chicago is all 10% Ethanol blended fuel. It doesn't hurt anything, but it does lead to lower fuel economy.
Ethanol v.s. Methanol?
There is a difference..correct me if I am wrong here.
Either way the mileage is effected.
But what is the real difference...any chemists out here who can answer that one. :confused:

Methanol is more agressive and made (I believe) from oil , where ethanol uses natural sugars in crops like corn as a ground base material.
