i plead ignorance. perhaps someone can help me understand. i was under the impression that ethanol additives to gasoline raised the octane of the fuel mixture.

if that's the case, and people driving performance cars need higher octane gas, then why do people look down on using ethanol? does it damage fuel line components in other ways?

thanks for any info!

p.s. from that link above even Top Tier gas is required to have a minimum of 8% ethanol.
