Poor performance from Ethanol - Yes.
Safer to use as an oxygenator than MTBE - Yes (water soluble)

Frankly another 5% of Ethanol in an 18 gallon tank will probably be negligible to the components. The octane will get a boost at least even if the energy density is less.

I bet it'll be more expensive and we will get less mileage per gallon!
