Personally, after my years of wrenching and trying to keep up on things after I quit wrenching, and my own experiences with nearly 30 different vehicle types (9 personal, rest are rentals) I have to say that the use of ethanol is not worth it. In one case, the single tank of ethanol fuel caused a then new 2006 Chevy Trailblazer to lose its fuel pump (E85 fuel) Please note that the owner's manual did claim this was a flex fuel vehicle, and as such, should have been happy with E85.... not!!
I feel for you on the issue of trying to find non-ethanol fuel in your area, and hope you are able to in the near future (if you have not done so already as I did not read thru all this thread...lol) Good luck!

A single tank causing a fuel pump loss on a vehicle that new is most likely going to be considered coincidence. If it were to continuously happen, like putting a new pump in, and losing it to E85 again, it might be something more.
For not, I'm not going to accept (personally) that ethanol caused that particular failure, although I do know that it happens.
