An excellent point and your common sense/historical perspective trumps the thoughts of these folks. The volativity of a liquid is the factor, and ethanol added to gasoline lowers the volativity. In other words, ethanol makes engines run less efficiently but lowers the occurence of vaporization of the fuel.
