Let's see pics of Aston’s filling up at the gas station!

The only non-ethanol station within a 25 mile radius is about a half mile from my house and there's a weekly exotic meet across the street from there (XXX Root Beer). Last time I filled up, it was me in the Vantage, a Ferrari 458 and a C2 Corvette lined up. I should have gotten a picture.

I know of no detrimental impact to newer cars caused by the use of ethanol-blended fuels.
Older cars could experience all sorts of problems (the 90-93 Z32TT used pintle-style injectors, which were lubricated by gasoline; the ethanol breaks down the lubricating properties, thus causing the coils to experience more friction and thus short out... 94+ models didn't use this injector style anymore).

But octane rating should take precedence over ethanol or non-ethanol.

I wish they hadn't just stopped the color contrast on the roof arch so abruptly.

I neglected to mention that gasoline has a higher energy content than ethanol so in an engine designed for gasoline, ethanol free also makes a little more power. The cars that make more power on e85 do it by forced induction and turning up boost pressure.

It's a common practice to throw a bottle of Heet in a car. Heet is 99% alcohol sold as a gasoline antifreeze. It has the added benefit of removing water, condensation accumulation, from the fuel system. This is important in cars that are stored for the winter or not driven much because condensation can form inside the tank. Also depends on the quality of the gas you are buying, how old the station's tanks are, since station tanks also can get water mixed in with the gas.

Yes. I make sure to use a microfiber clothe to protect the quarter from scratches and fuel spills. I also hold the nozzle to make sure I doesn't come in contact with the car.

I've experienced the handle pop out. Luckily it was on a rental car. I can appreciate your nervousness.

If you put it all the way in, it's not gonna pop out. Protecting the quarter panel with microfiber is a good idea, but my quarter panel is wrapped so I never sweat it.
