Apoc, keep in mind that "big and bad" usually means that it breaks more often and costs more to fix. A good, clean, reliable vehicle (especially when living on a limited budget) is worth its own weight in gold.

Complete combustion releases Carbon Dioxide and Water.
In an incomplete burn, unburned ethanol is biodegradable.
It shouldn't leave a buildup in the engine.
However if the vehicle has sat at any point, any varnish that has formed in the fuel system will be partially dissolved by the ethanol and released, clogging injectors.
Ethanol is also hydroscopic, so it absorbs water. It will absorb moisture from the air over time.
The big problem is that ethanol eats certain rubbers and is corrosive to raw aluminum. Fuel system components need to be compatible with ethanol for long term exposure.
Simple solution is to upgrade to stainless steel or anodized aluminum metal components and viton or Teflon hoses and o-rings and gaskets.
My Ex ran fine on E70.

If mine was a V-10 I would be a little more inclined to keep it and be happier with the 2wd, but I just feel I have the base of the base
EDIT: Also thanks for the compliment! It really feels good to at least have a clean good looking rig even though it's not the biggest or baddest
