It does do that, it's hygroscopic. I don't think it's a real big deal as long as you don't store the fuel for long, especially if it's humid where you are. You won't be getting good enough mileage to worry about it!

Are you running high compression? If you're not over 12:1 or boosted, you are wasting your time and money. FWIW. It's only 50 cents cheaper a gallon here in MN where it's bountiful. I've read they are looking at dropping a large percentage of the subsidy, so I expect the price difference to shrink even further. There are quite a few plants around here that either closed, or never opened. Unless we get an E15 mandate, I don't know if it'll fare well for mainstream use. It's great for a niche application like yours, but only if you are optimized for it.
