Also likely that high density population centers have special gas in an attempt to limit ozone. Might be those mixes react poorly to open bowl vents on carbs as most cars are now fuel injected.

Wont happen the car makers already expressed that problems with cars designed to run at 10% would be on the oil companies as they expressly state in the car warranty that a max of 10% is to be used . Only vehicles that can use 15 is flex fuel
