Ford did indicate that the higher ethanol additives were not recommended for my 2002 GT, on account of the fuel lines not being up to spec to handle the corrosive properties ethanol can have on those lines.
Noticed the E10 mix caused a lot more jerking and hesitation than the E5 did. Once I switched over to non ethanol added fuel all that jerking and hesitation went away (to the point where I could claim that the E5 also did it's share of adding hesitation and so but not to the point where it bothered me much or was very noticable - Once I needed to switch to E10 it was definitly noticable tho).
Since that was true for my 02 GT, I'm guessing it's directly portable to your 94 GT. So unless you know for a fact the fuel lines have been replaced end-to-end to hold up to the E10 fuel, my recommendation would be to either not use ethanol added fuel, or only use it sparingly. Someone else more local to the US might want to weigh in there with a different opinion tho.

Not the wrong thread... I have no excuse beyond it's been a long day, and I read the OP question as a question about fuel. No clue where that came from. Esprecially since your comment pointed me at the OP post again and forced me to re-read it.Where did this come from?
Post in the wrong thread maybe?
No clue where my misreading that came from, so feel free to ignore me.

I would ask for two of whatever you're taking but you already said it was "work" so, I don't want any part of that.
Still a good comment. I believe non EthanolNot the wrong thread... I have no excuse beyond it's been a long day, and I read the OP question as a question about fuel. No clue where that came from. Esprecially since your comment pointed me at the OP post again and forced me to re-read it.
