Funny thing is that with the cats and emissions controls you can't smell the fuel type out the tail pipe. If you are smelling something, there's a problem. Filling yes, running, no. There's not an ethanol smell out the tail pipe - otherwise you'd have problems passing emissions. I ran E85 in my Chevy now and then, never really could tell the difference in the exhaust - a tad more power pulling (even the specs said more HP on ethanol because they ran faster timing and such) but otherwise, you'd never know what you had in it.Well, if your smelling it . . . take a closer whiff . . . make sure it's not some of that Fine Kentucky Bourbon they've not used as an Additive instead of that crap ethanol !
Maybe the flux capacitor was going bad.
