Kind of off-topic but stay with me here.
I'm researching the alcohol level of gasoline in every state. In Illinois, its E10 (well... UP to 10% ethanol) or E85. For Toyota, majority of the cars from 1987 will operate on E10 but Minnesota is pushing the E15 mandate which E15 is not recommended to cars prior to 2001 ---> 6th gen Celica. I want to ask the local guys in every state, what is your gas fuel regulations or laws? I know Florida, Minnesota, Hawaii, Missouri, Iowa, Montana, Kansas, Oregon, Louisiana, Washington, and Maryland MUST have 10% ethanol in their gas. Other states are up to 10% but never over (besides E85). If your state (MN people especially) has E15 and up gas or blender pumps, do you see any symptoms with the celica using the high alcohol content fuel? I got lot of information off the internet but no definite data of each state and their fuel regulations for 2011. (Found 2007 but that data is too old to use now) What about you 6gc'ers in Brazil? I believe the gas over there is like E20~E25. What kind of gas do you put in your 6gc? Sorry, its for work but it got me curious on how it will affect the celica. I'm not expecting much of you to answer this for me but I thought it won't hurt to ask. Thanks in advance, Shigs This post has been edited by Shigexile: Jan 26, 2012 - 2:27 PM -------------------- PROJECT 6TH GEN

I think BonzaiCelica is running a mixture of E85 and E10 in his Celica. Maybe he can chime in with his experience.
I meant to add earlier but forgot that some of us have 17 year old Celicas- the rubber has already seen some age, who knows what the alcohol might do to it. That's the second big reason I'm hesitant to pump anything more than E10. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
