Higher ethanol blending might sound eco-friendly, but it can create serious concerns for older bikes and cars. Ethanol attracts moisture, can damage rubber hoses and seals, may cause corrosion in fuel systems, reduces fuel efficiency, and can lead to performance issues in vehicles that weren’t designed for high ethanol content. As ethanol percentages increase, millions of older vehicles could face higher maintenance costs, lower mileage, and long-term reliability concerns.
