One of my big hobbies is vintage Japanese motorcycles, I have 3 bikes from the 70's and 80's and I've used E10 through them for literally 25 years and not one issue. My 25hp Merc is a '95 and my 150 Merc is a 2004 and neither of them have ever suffered a fuel based issue. I own a vintage snowmobile from '84 and a few much newer ones and they haven't had an issue either. I've always heard the horror stories of ethanol fuel but my experience has been that I have ridden vintage motorcycles probably a quarter million miles with E10 fuel and never had an issue. Is it possible I have just been lucky? I guess, but it was at least 10 years ago that I completely stopped worrying about it. To be fair, when I go north I have options for non-ethanol fuel and I happily buy it, but I don't worry if I can't find it. Just my experience! Now I'll probably have an issue this weekend...</p></blockquote><p></p>
