I would beg to differ. On brand new cars, ethanol is likely safe and may keep your fuel system cleaner than other mixes.

That said, older cars can have issues. I lost a fuel injector recently (had just moved to Iowa and started using ethanol blend). I found out that the Lexus techs will NOT use ethanol in any older car. Seems like they are tired of replacing fuel systems components on older Lexus cars and don't want that to happen to their own.

Word to the wise.
