10 percent ethanol is all you would want to use in your Spyder. Anything more may damage it.

I don't have the owner's manual with me, but I'm sure the answer is in there.

Have to agree...
even the 10% is not that good and I for one use sea foam to help fight back the effects...Don't think they can go to full ethenol without some serious modifications to all those engines out there not only spyders....

Not a lot of pluses for users of Ethanol blends. It does not save money, it ruins parts of the engine.
Here, (AK), we don't have it. Going to try to avoid it when we go lower 48.

If you have to use ethanol then try this stuff. I use it on a regular basis and I think it works pretty good. Star Tron and you can get it at Wal Mart
