Chris,
It is not the running of the engine that is affected, but much more the
side affects of alcohol in petrol, like corrosion of aluminium alloys,
deterioration of rubber parts, loosening up dirt in tanks etc. I always
hear Yanks complaining about.
I never have experienced any of those troubles at all when e.g. lead
free petrol ( 5% alcohol) was introduced in the 70's, apart from the odd
fuel hose, or in these days when I use E10 in Germany in my Jensen
Healey or every day car.

Kees, half a cup of metho in 50 or 60 litres of 110 avgas is nothing like
running an engine originally designed for 100 octane leaded fuel, on 91 octane
E10
And that's imperial octane. Not US.
Sincerely.

And some metho. Metho absorbs water. Even though I have an alloy tank, I
still put a cup of metho in every year. Absorbs water, which you don't want in
your fuel tank!
Methylated Spirits.

And then you are all complaining about the modern fuels like E10!!!!! or other
petrol/alcohol mixtures what damage they can do.
