Answer
Hi, Roger.  We've been running 10% ethanol here in the states for quite some time now.  Our 1998 vehicles were designed to run on petrol and have run on 10% ethanol with no known issues for quite some time.  So I'm a little confused as to why Hyundai says it isn't suitable in Australia.  Of course, I don't know if there are differences in Australian vs. U.S. petrol that make this more of an issue in Australia.
