Bio Ethanol Fuel Additive - Eu

[Beejay]

Does the ridiculous EU directive that insists on Ethanol being added to regular petrol - less power, less mileage, good land used for its production rather than food etc,

affect the Lexus engine range like it does smaller garden appliance/light aircraft engines?

Ethanol absorbs water and affects hoses and gaskets. Typical Green Garbage hysteria costing us money.

Apparently, "Toyota and Lexus have put labels on gas caps warning that their engines are not designed to operate with E15, and that they won’t be held responsible for damage caused by higher blend gasoline."

Must be US quote.

Frankly any Ethanol included in gasoline is a very bad idea. Not going the 'save the planet' and does corrode fuel systems etc.

I use ethanol 30 with RX450 for more than 6 month. Everything is good.

The only difference is in fuel consumption which is 20% higher.
