After flooring it to get on the "highway" it smelled very bitter, I hope E85 or even E100 smells different. I rented a Toyota Camry but they were out so they had to give me a Cadillac CTS

oh, what a shame lmao..

as far as the E10, thats in 90% of the gas stations anyways. (VERY common in the midwest....

Yea I thought, why not, only chance to drive one in my life, even if I could afford one I wouldn't buy one...

Oh and I really didn't know but, 10% ethyl alcohol in California gas is ethanol, haha oops, I wonder why it smells differently in Hawaii than in the Bay Area?

weird

yea, the nice thing about them adding that to the gas is that it stands up to the cold a bit better than normal plain gas (for colder winters)

all of the gas in arizona is 10% ethanol..

Oh actually I checked several different web sites and California only has 5.7% ethanol in its formulation.

ethanol has been used for years as an additive. Running 10% or less is nothing new.
