I run only non-ethanol premium (93 octane) in my Boxster and all my motorcycles when I'm able to gas up in my home location of Ashland OR, where it runs about a dollar more per gallon. On road trips of course you have to take what you can get. I drive my Boxster in the winter here locally, but garaging my bikes in winter I make it a point to keep non-ethanol in the tanks. One of my bikes has a nylon tank which is known to deform when stored for long periods with gas containing ethanol.

I think JFP in PA's comments above sum it up pretty well. If we all start hunting out the non-ethanol gas, maybe the market will respond with better availability and lower cost, but I doubt it.
