Over here in CT 10% has been the law for many years now. Good luck trying to find fuel without the 10% requirement around here. Lower MPG and poor storage. But for something that is driven regularly it's not to big of a deal. Stored for 6 months and you will have issues. Draining doesn't work great since seals will dry and crack from the ethanol and leaving the fuel in absorbs moisture at a greater rate and spoils at an alarming rate so it's a lose lose. Only good option is keep running and cycle the tanks of fuel. Biggest issues are my motorcycles and 2 stroke outboard boat motors. I always have issues with storage and have learned a little about dealing with it over the years. Also bad fuel over 10% for example 20% will melt/clog a catalytic converter fast.
