Any automobile sold inthe US must be tolerant of Ethanol up to 10% so your Xfire is probably safe despite the owners manual warning.

I know of no "kit" for changing your engine as it doesn't require the change. I could be wrong here.

The only change you can make is at the ballot box. Burning food in our cars is immoral and saves not a drop of imported oil. Kick the rascals that put this crap in our fuel supplies out.

They should be "verboten."
