You can remedy all the ethanol issues by running Startron Fuel Treatment. When I lived in Iowa ethanol fuel was 15 cents a gallon cheaper than regular (fuel prices were $1.79 then). Now it's still 15 cents cheaper but prices are 3.79 so it's actually cheaper to buy the more expensive fuel. Personally I prefer to mix ethanol with Ruby Red Squirt (Mmmm!). Also winter diesel has ethanol added to it to prevent jelling.
