My lawnmower, snow blower and trimmer have used 10 % for years. Always starts, no problems.
To be perfectly honest, I think it's the gunk like Sta-bil that screws up the system. My son had a street rod, like me never used any junk like that except for one year. That year the carb was all gunked up.
I still don't use any crap like Sta-bil. The gas I put in in November always started the car in April. As I said, never had a problem with the 10 %

I've been doing auto and small engine most of my life and I see the real thing day in and day out, your fuel and exhaust systems are the most vulnerable. If your vehicle was built before 1980 put in a tank of non E and check your mileage then do the exact same rout with a tank 10 per E and see how you do. I have a restored 68 F100 with a 390. It will not run smooth on ethanol period. Put in regular non E smooth as glass. Tim
