    Toyota Phils released a memo (dated Aug 4, 2006) declaring that all Toyota " '06 model year" are "capable of using bio-ethanol up to 10% blend (E10).

    But if its me, I will try to avoid E10 if possible, bec. nobody has a clear idea on how on the use of such fuel (e10) may or may not have long term effects on the vehicle.

    I think its inevitable that ethanol will be blended into all kinds of gasoline. I read from the other forum that even Shell has blended their ultra premium Velocity with 10% ethanol.

    uubra naman sya ang problema mo lang kasi sa katagalan yun mga fuel lines na rubber ay madaling lulutong na pagmumulan ng leak dahil medyo corrosive ito lalo na sa mga rubber at di lang yan dahil ang ethanol ay almost alcohol at waterbased chemical maaaring mag evaporate ito lalo na kung ang tangke mo ay hindi naka design for ethanol fuel.

    is there a way para magamit pa rin sa mga lumang kotse kahit e10 ang ilagay?

    this has been discussed in the forum lots of times. your options:

    - wait for the components to wear down, and replace with ethanol resistant components
    - do an engine swap from carbed to EFi
    - do a conversion to LPG
    - live with it, and go back to item 1.
