Will You USE Blended Ethanol Gas in Your Car? Will it help?

[Jimaz]

I vaguely recall someone advising {for old cars, lawn mowers, snowblowers, etc.} to buy gas at a marina. Boat engines typically don't handle ethanol well. It had something to do with ethanol dissolving plastic parts over time.

I have no idea whether that's true. Can anyone confirm that?

Proximity to water[[lakes/rivers) moist air and hydroscopic ethanol makes milk. Engines do not run on milk.
