I don't really care about the price. I run standard E10 (10% ethanol) in my newer F.I. cars with plastic gas tanks, but never in the cycles or small engines.
Ethanol makes a carbed engine run lean, which can cause problems as most engines are lean already.
It contains and holds water. It goes bad quicker. It promotes rust in a steel tank and corrosion in aluminum. It will attack gaskets and seals in older engines that are not designed to be exposed to it.
It does nothing good.
