Is ethanol-blended gasoline safe for my C6?

I understand that emissions regulations are favouring the addition of ethanol to gasoline. Will this be safe for my engine?
 
HI there,
Our Corvette, c5 or c6 are made to run on an ethanol content up to 10%, without problems.
Fuel formulations are different in Canada, so you must be sure of the content before you put it in your Corvette.
Please read the label on the pump to make sure you do not have more than 10%.
Allthebest, c4c5
 
RE: Ethanol question

Dear c4c5:
Thank you for your prompt reply.
You told me just what I wanted to know.
Too bad G.M. Canada hasn't bothered to reply to my same e-mail question.

RE: GM's reply

I take back my last comment. Today GM phoned me. They have been inundated with inquiries and are very back-logged. The GM representative was very pleasant and asked about what vehicle I was purchasing. She was very helpful and gave me a toll-free phone number and contact name for any future questions I might have.
Hats off to GM Canada. :upthumbs
