Thumbs up

Both my Rovers are 100% fuelled with Ethanol (85% max in Summer, 70% max in Winter), 25 since more than a year and 75 since nearly a year.
It's a very bliss: engine noise is a bit smoother, torque is a bit better in the low revs and ethanol is a very good cleaner of the engine.
I know lots of mates who are fuelling their car with ethanol since years without any ethanol related problem.
Only downside: there is a normal overconsumption so the autonomy is sensibly reduced. But in France kitties love ethanol!
