Tegger,

Thanks for the info. As I said above, I would have to check my owner's
manual this weekend. Since I already had a tank full of it, I wanted to
see if anyone had experience with it.

And yes, I read the owner's manual from cover to cover when I got the
car over three years ago. Back then, there were no placards indicating
ethanol was added to the fuel any where I was buying fuel, so I don't
remember what it said.

Now if I could just remember how to get the radio into clock-setting
mode every time we go on/off DST without looking it up in the manual,
I'd be happy:-)

Bob
