Ethanol fuels are actually more likely to cause fuel line freezing issues because ethanol is hygroscopic. In non ethanol fuels any water ends up in the bottom of the tank which should be well below the fuel pick up (unless you really have a tremendous amount of water in the tank). Ethanol provides a a way for water to be held in suspension in the fuel and for that reason is able to get into the fuel lines.
