Long-term effects of E85 - Page 8 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Im assuming you can mitigate some long term effects of E85 given that not all gas stations use the same formula, and the % of ethanol varies, by adding some sort of lubricant or cleaner like Lucas or Gumout?
There's only about 4 stations maybe in all of Connecticut and the ones nearest to me are inside a military base and a station 30 minutes from my house which is rumored to have a crappy mix.
