The Hondas I've seen typically allow up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE.

The issue as I'm aware of it has to do with the polymers in the fuel
system. Honda could easily switch plastics and reprogram its sensors and
ECMs to handle the characteristics of ethanol, but there's not much point
in undergoing the expense.

Demand for ethanol is zero unless the government drives it via social-
engineering tax policy. Ethanol is expensive and inefficient.
