It was introduced into my state 5 years ago to both much fanfare and stink. I know it's been around much longer than that. My late grandfather drove down to VA one time, had to fill up on E10 as that was the only stuff they sold and it caused his car's cat converter to fill up with water and block the exhaust. After he drained the E10 gas and the water out of the car and put E0 back in, it ran fine again and never had the weird water problem again with it.

The rubber tipped needle valves are supposed to last longer than metal tipped ones since any kind of shock or joult wears the all metal ones. However, whatever it is about modern gas it is damaging the rubber tips besides the low quality of the valves themselves, and it seems only high grade viton lasts.
