Basicaly says never use in Sierras.
OK in DOHC Jimny but no for SOHC
and info on Vitaras etc.

I used it for 1 tank, had all sorts of running issues, didn't think of the fuel as cause, but probably was.
RACV says don't bother unless its very much cheaper than the normal fuel, as savings to you and enviroment won't be worth it.

Other cars are listed, but they not so important ;)

Running issues are more likely to do with water in the tank that the ethanol would have picked up and passed through to the carbie.

Well, mmm, during Adventure Tour my ignition wire connection broke off..I'm guessing that was the cause of running issues...but to be safe, I won't use it, as suzuki don't recommend it.
