In the marine world, ethanol rated fuel hoses and such started in 93. We had to re-do the fuel lines on our 86 Chris Craft due to issues, and one carb developed a seal issue after about 6 or 7 seasons of ethanol. Other than that, it hasn't been an issue. Fortunately, the fuel tanks are aluminum, not fiberglass.
I've never gotten to run E0 in the Jeep to compare mpg, but it runs fine on E10, and doesn't seem to care one bit. As long as it's got enough octane for it not to ping, it's happy.
