The generally accepted numbers for E10 gasoline are maximum .5% at
standard atmosphere (72F at sea level) - or 3.8 teaspoons per gallon.
(18.7 grams) which is roughly 36 times as much as clear gasoline can
hold.

Other sources state E10 holds 50 times as much water as non-oxygenated
gasoline.

At higher temperatures this is increased marginally, and at cooler
temperatures this capacity drops.

Thank you for some numbers I can try to keep in my head.
