E0's best feature, IMHO, is that it doesn't corrode your equipment anywhere near as badly as E10 over months or years. With modern cars built for E10, it doesn't seem to matter too much if you daily them on E10 but if you store them they better have E0 in them.
I only use E0 for my small engines (unless I don't have the time to get it; the station's 6 miles away for the nearest non E0 station, vs 2 for an ethanol station) and even if it's been 6 - 8 months or a year after the last start up, the fuel still seems to be good enough to use.
I did try E0 in my cars but didn't find much of a F.E. improvement; YMMV. 3/4 of one MPG in my Explorer is not enough to make up for paying 70¢ more per gallon. Since I daily the car, it's not a big deal to use E10; the fuel won't degrade or attract too much water. I'll use Amsoil P.I. every so often, anyway, to clear out deposits on injectors.
