At least the corn lobby and environazis are happy.

What a horrible article.  At least you could use it for a drinking game every time they say 'today.'

Upshot:

Replace all 18 inches of fuel line in your muscle mopar with new.
You may have to go up a jet size.
You can run more timing as ethanol content goes up.

seems an article did some googling at DC.com and then wrote this article....

     I maybe dumber than dog shit with brain damage but I did a lot of reading on (Racing on E-85) before I bought my yet to be proven 12.5 compression 440 which I was/am going to run E-85 in and I plan on changing the rubber fuel line, fuel pump, and have a carburetor setup to run the stuff and I have no problem being the test dummy and if I am wrong I will take my spanking and not say a word.  I was around in the 70s when (gasahol) came out and I was driving a FWD C20 Chevy truck with a plow and the wife's car was a 70 307 2bbl. Chevelle  and neither of us had a problem with vehicles and I am sure I would have known about it if it happened.  We had more problems with water in the gas because gas stations weren't sticking their tanks or didn't do anything about it if they found water. Because of that I always dumped in a couple of cans of dry gas  every month and that might have saved my ass and I didn't even know it.
