Do You mean straight ethanol or ethanol blended petrol?
I can't help you, just clearing up the question.

The links below told me blended is OK for EFI zooks, but not OK for Carbied Zooks

:armsup: been running it in the 94 Vit for 18 months ... all good.
Seat of pants type dyno says power the same. Fuel consumption up by maybe 1-2 %.

So, although it's cheaper at the bowser, the bottom line saving in $ is not that great, but still enough. AND ... ya get that warm fuzzy feeling inside from doing something good for the environment.
