    It's because ethanol is corrosive to certain materials. Different materials are compatible with different chemicals. Heck, water is very damaging to sugar, while hexane doesn't do anything to sugar.

    Honda vehicles built before 2002 used materials that might not be compatible with ethanol, hence Honda Australia's reluctance to issue a statement saying that pre-2002 models will last as long with ethanol blend fuels.

    5-10% ethanol blend fuels will work in older cars. Just that in the long term, the seals that come into contact with the fuel might corrode at a quicker rate.

    And cigarettes are bad for you as they cause lung cancer, bad breath and poverty, yet they are still allowed to be sold at supermarkets. Bad things can still be sold. It is up to you to decide if it is good for you.
