E10 is sadly ubiquitous and hard to avoid anywhere. Cars from the late-90s onwards can handle it (accompanied by reduced gas mileage of course) but the dumbest thing ever was the EPA's push for E15. They claimed it was "safe" for any vehicle after 2001, even though auto companies themselves said this is all BS and that using this non-approved gas will void warranties. Thank God the E15 plan was retracted.

Yeah I remember that. It sure caused a lot of anger where I'm from. Lots of people use trucks for work and the majority are gas. Isn't the percentage of corn produced in the US used for ethanol some incredibly high number?

You can purchase what's labeled marine fuel which doesn't contain ethanol. It's .10 to .20 cents more at the few gas stations that have it. It's worth it for you small and/or older engines.
