[net.auto] Gas Can Damage Cars

Chrysler is suing ARCO, so I heard, for saying its boosted unleaded fuels are
OK for cars.  Chrysler claims it dries out and cracks the valves.

P.S.  I have never heard that their regular blend (which I use for my 77
fuel injected Rabbit) has alcohol.  Anyone heard otherwise?

Which valves?  Intake and exahust are metal, no drying there...
