This is BS, ethanol doesn't cause as many problems on newer cars because they have plastic fuel tanks and the rubber in the fuel system is alcohol "resistant".

If you have an older car though ethanol's affinity for water will cause you never ending headaches due to rust in your gas tank and the slow disintegration of the rubber parts in the fuel system.
