I am familiar with it's history. Ever see the documentary "Pump"? Pretty interesting. Below is a link to the IMDB description of the movie, it's on Netflix, there's another site/link but it's politically oriented - well I supposed the movie is but I watched it for informational purposes and history. There are some people (tuners) from Colorado on there. I actually talked to the Chevy guy in that documentary before this documentary was filmed. He had a base Cobalt at the time, it looked stock but it was modified, a turbo kit or custom turbo was added.

I still hold E10-98 isn't corrosive, to modern materials. I guess technically anything is corrosive depending on the material it's running through. Oil companies spent nickels worth of their overall profit to replace pipes, I do recall that. I recall cancer causing MTBE days. I also recall fuel shortages in the 70's, but like you I was a kid I just remember being in the car with my parents waiting in lines at gas pumps. (I'm 46)

Times change, materials change - E0 unleaded fuel is corrosive and damaging if you consider the fact that they now (since the 70's) use hardened valve seats so leaded fuel isn't required anymore in engines.
