I think that is MTBF. What state are you in? I believe only CA was using
that, but most states have been using some amount of ethanol for quite some
time, due to successful lobbying by the corn interests. I would say it is
nothing to worry about, unless you are just about to put on the road one of
those zero-miles "time capsule" MGB LEs.
