    please list down here gasoline powered vehicles the can run on ethanol-added/ based gasoline fuel--like shell's "E10 unleaded"..

    basta ung di nagkaroon ng problem/ "degradation of performance" ang sasakyan when using e10. better kung yung mag-popost ay regularly using products like E10....

    i think ford's focus and escape is on top of this..any others?

    1. 07 ford focus (1.8 and 2.0 gas variants)
    2. 07 ford escape (2.3L variant, dont know if the 2.0 ang 3.0)

    The Focus loses some power (daw) when you use E10... but it's mechanically safe for E20.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Most modern EFI equipped vehicles (1990 ang above) can handle E10 without any glitch.

    I do not reccomend E10 because ethanol wares down your fuel line faster so after quite some time baka masira ung fuel line niyo but sa engine it is safe naman daw ang sabi sa akin ang E10 is safe for all fuel injected pag ung mga luma di ata puede

    Well, alcohols will slowly eat and deteriorate rubber components. That is why when we're using alcohol to clean parts at work I don't use it on rubber components. E10 is not as concentrated but give it enough time, and it might. If the parts are old, definitely replace them first prior to switching to E10 to be on the safe side.
