In the 21st century, "useful life" should be double what the EPA seems to think it is. Next time you hear that ethanol won't hurt your car, just remember that is using the 1970s as their baseline for durability.
Maybe a poll should be set up to see if I have a point....How many of you out there have a car, or have had a car, with over 120,000 miles on the original engine?
