The previous amount of 10% (summer blend) was raised to a year-round 15% (waiver) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). > Ethanol is a valuable source of octane in finished gasoline, but it is chemically different than petroleum gasoline and cannot be used in concentrations above 10 percent in small engines — like outboard boat motors, motorcycles, lawnmowers, generators or chain saws — or in any cars made before 2001.

Bmw have been designed with 30% ethanol since 2018. Seems to be the case will all the European manufacturers. Only American and jap cars are decades behind. ---

Awh the only real difference is seals and valve seat materials potentially if you have PFI. Its only slightly harder on the valve seats then normal gas being sprayed on them, most cars can adjust probably up to 50% E85 on their own with long term and short term fuel trims. Worse thing honestly will be cold starts on some cars not specifically tuned for it. It will destroy the seals in small carbs tho ---
