The more alcohol in the gas the more water can be added.
Not that anyone would actually do that to make more profit....just saying dudes. 8)

Also the more subsidies to corn farmers.  Also more pollution and oil use as it takes petroleum based fertilizers to grow all that GMO corn, plus petroleum based pesticides and herbicides, plus the machinery to plant, spray, harvest, and process all that corn into ethanol. 

Sounds like a BIG bonus for agribusiness and Monsanto!

I know this is a bit old, thought id comment as ive dealt with this first hand. Ive seen a bunch of damage done to older cars (1980 up to 1999) fuel system components just from the e10 here in kalifornia. Aloong with eating through rubber that was never designed to cary this stuff, a handful of cars 'computers wont run with it period. It cant adjust for it. Even seeing (very small amount) of perfectly healthy engines detonating/complete meltdown due to the e10 mix seperating. Pay attention to what your actually running through your vehicle.
