[QUOTE="lightninmike, post: 3606164, member: 4208"] Not to be a knowitall but your "winter" blend also contains it. Ethanol is replacing the MTBE that is in gasolines. Your milage may go down but it is perfectly safe to run in any car. Chris is right on the filter thing, Ethanol and water dont mix well at all so it is very good idea to start changing the filter at the very least every other oil change. Condonsation in your tank will turn your filter into a brick on the inside. The filters in the pumps at the gas station now have to be changed almost 3 times more often because of this. Octane booster is only nessary for the older cars, and the newer FI cars should be just fine. [/QUOTE]
