Default 10% Ethanol.
Is there any issue using the 10% ethanol fuel that is in almost all gas stations. I have been using pure gas. But I am taking a trip and may not be able to get pure gas on the road. Thanks John

All of our gas in SE/WI is 10% ethanol. My truck runs just fine on it. You might see a reduction in mpg's but it'll be mostly insignificant.

I am on ethanol and have been for all 2000 of my trucks miles.

I think the rule of thumb is subtract 15% for gas mileage.
