what exactly is your concern? water absorption? or damage to certain
rubbers and natural materials? anything that could be damaged by E5 or E10
probably shouldn't still be in the car anyway. 60 years old fuel hoses and
carb seals are not a recipe for reliability. likewise regular use and not
leaving tanks of fuel for months is good advice with or without ethanol.
I generally use E5 in all my cars and bikes. I don't think its ever caused
a problem.
