I knew the stuff can deteriorate, but i didn't know it could break
down in as little as two weeks!

That's a recent article based on old data.

While it doesn't have exactly the same shelf life has non-ethanol gas,
it hasn't produced the storage problems in a majority of situation
that were forecast.

Now, in areas where there are cold temperature extremes in the winter,
yeah - it's very possible that you will get phase seperation in
ethanol blends *due to significant warming and cooling cycles. It seem
to be a particular problem in the border states with Canada.

Then again, I havne't heard a lot of horror stories out of Canada
about it.

Tom, can you lead me to some updates on that? it's pretty interesting.

IT IS BAD here in FL. The stuff has caused me incredible problems.
Ethanol in gas should be banned.
