they cant really say that ethanol will hurt old cars remember that ethanol is really only bad for some plastic and rubber parts but the older vehicles have less plastic and rubber parts in the fuel system
im not talking 80s and 90s but 70s and older you had a steel gas tank steel fuel lines brass fittings steel and aluminum fuel pump aluminum carburetor brass float paper and fiber gaskets then an aluminum or steel intake brass valve guides phenolic or fiber valve seals it would run forever on ethanol
but we are in the 21st century where they dont know how to make metal parts anymore
about the only pure gasoline made today is coleman stove fuel and if your car starts on it it wont run very well cause its only around 50 octane
as for scooters i wouldnt worry about running the 15% ethanol if youre riding it a lot but dont leave it in there if its gonna sit for a long time if youre storing it ru through some 100ll avgas cam2 110 rec
etc mixed with startron just if you have one of them modern fuel injected catylized scoots dont run a lot of 100ll or cam2 cause the lead will cause dam age too
