    In general, is it okay to fuel up my 2005 Prius with gas containing 10% ethanol? I've read that it can cause corrosion with vehicles that are not designed for the fuel. Thanks very much.

    As far as I know, all new vehicles are designed for 10% ethanol.

    Page 205 of the 2005 Owners Manual states that you can use blended fuels containing up to 10% ethanol.
