In my owners manual for my Daytona Turbo they don't say avoid Ethanol
enriched gasoline they only say that the percentage should not be
over 10%.  In fact, I have been using an ethanol enriched gas for
some time now and my car has been running fine.

I read about some gadget which used alcohol/water attraction to measure
the percent of alcohol in gasoline, but it seems to me that the principle
really should only need a graduated container.
