I probably wouldn't worry about it as it is a blend. Ethanol in itself will 
cause problems with what can only be termed 'old rubber", meaning some of 
the old o-rings and such made before the use of ethanol didnt like it much. 
That being said, I don't think modern rubber could care less if it's gas or 
ethanol. Although ethanol is easier on the stomach when ingested, you'll 
have one hell of a hangover the next morning........
