I think the article Joe quotes refers to methyl alcohol, which some
auto manufacturers claim is detrimental to engines.

Gasohol contains ethyl alcohol, a different animal. I've used gasohol
exclusively since 1979 or 1980 in a Jeep CJ5 and a Chevy Blazer with no ill
effects.

The ethyl alcohol in gasohol helps prevent gas line freeze in the
winter, so I never have to add "Heet", which is methyl alcohol.
