    I have a 2007 SX Tucson, 2.7l V6 engine. The Australian user manual states
    " Do not use fuels containing Methanol (wood alcohol).... Hyundai Warranty
    will not cover damage of the fuel system......by the use of methanol or
    fuels containing methanol"

    Down here in Australia there is a 10% Ethanol Blend fuel available (I think
    it is 93 Octane rating). What are your thoughts on this. Will I void my
    warranty if I use this.

    Thanks

    Ethanol is not methanol. We use that often here in the US. It is the most
    common additive in winter blends.
