Default Ethanol 10 Fuek

I just received an email advertising the following:

The Mountain Home Shoppette will contribute to the “green” movement by filling up with environmentally-friendly Ethanol 10 (E10) starting August 27.
The change out dates are August 24 & 25, so there may be lines at the open pumps. So please bear with them as they change to a “greener” alternative.
Based on laws passed in 2006 (Clean Air Act) and other EPA and U.S. government laws, ethanol blends are now present in more than 50 percent of the fuel supply.

Silly question but is this good news for me? Should I use this fuel for the Z instead of Premium Unleaded fuel? Any performance gains or potential harms? Just a question.

You should stick with Premium... But the Premium will have ethanol in it, as will the Regular and Midgrade. Basically the fuel is gonna have 10% ethanol in it, and shouldn't have any negative impact on our cars. It's like that here at Hickam, and I haven't had any problems for the last 14 months.... so far.

Yeah, all fuels nowadays contain up to 10% ethanol. It has some negative effects on some older vehicles, but I haven't seen any on any newer models.
