Pros Pure ethanol has an effective octane of 160 in direct injection engines and it's great at keeping things clean.

Cons? There is debate as to oil dilution, but I haven't seen much evidence to suggest that it great reduces oil life for e85 let alone e10.

In older cars I suppose it can wreak havok on older fuel lines and cause issues with maintaining a proper AFR.
