The problem with ethanol gas is when it sits for too long the ethanol/water separates from the gas.. In your owners manual it tells you to never store your bike with "gasohol" for this reason.

might just be me but i don't really buy into that marketing crap. if your fuel system needs cleaning, clean it for $5 of seafoam every 10K miles. don't waste money on gas you don't need.
