    Ethanol the right blend
    Answered by CarsGuide team · 20 December 2007

    YES. It is a low-ethanol blend and will do no harm to your car. The problems that can occur with ethanol blends, and they have to be high blends, mostly afflict older cars. New models have seals etc. that won't be affected by the ethanol.

    Ethanol option
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 26 January 2006

    I WOULD accept Nissan's advice that it is safe to use a blend with 5 or 10 per cent ethanol.
