The other thing about ethanol is that it doesn't burn well in cold weather.
So if the mixture is a bit high, the car will appear to run rough until the
engine heats up a bit. But, what the others have said is the conventional
wisdom. The first couple of tankfulls will not run too well and stir up a
lot of crud, but once you work through that, everything should be ok.

I read in a paper that crossed my path yesterday that cars after 1970 can
safely use gasoline with 10% ethanol in it. That leads me to believe that
maybe my '67 Midget should not use it and perhaps I should be exercising
care to avoid it. Does anyone have any knowledge about this?
Thanks!
