Your car was designed to be compatible with 10% ethanol, most stations in the midwest use a 10% ethanol blend in all grades of gasoline, check the pump next time your at a gas station. If you are running a bit rich, you can add up to 25% E-85 without any problems.. But won't be able to notice the full benefits without changing timing and fueling on your chip. About the only worry is that you may clog up your fuel filter as ethanol is a great fuel system cleaner and any sediment in the tank will wind up in the filter. Just be sure to pay attention to knock and your O2's and you should be fine with a 25% blend.
