Default 10% Ethonal with Raptor engine

Was told you can't use 10% ethanol in the new Limited Raptor motor, only regular gas, any truth to that?

The engine probably won't be FlexFuel (85% ethanol) capable. Most gas has 10% ethanol, regardless of grade, so I don't believe this.

Even cars from the 70's can use E85.

They can't without modifications.

91 Octane Minimum. Use 93 if you can get it.
G100 would make slightly less power than E10.
The Ethanol in E10 carries some oxygen. Think of it as a tiny shot of N2O.

You should be able to Download an Owners Manual and Raptor Supplement to keep you entertained until it gets here.
