That ethanol will kill your injector system and eat out the gas lines.
Please provide documentation to back that up. Or are you talking about E-80? We've been on E-10 for well over 15 years. I've never even heard of a vehicle where E-10 "killed the injector system or ate out the gas lines". My trailblazer has 150k on it, my last Suburban is now owned by my dad and has 180k on it. No issues with gas lines or injectors.

It also lowers your mpg and gives you less power.
Absolutely true.
In fact ethanol blended gas has some advantages. The days of rusted out fuel tanks and corrosion within the the fuel system have largely gone. Water goes into solution with alcohol and goes right through your fuel system as part of that solution. It no longer settles in lows spots or moves around in blobs (unless you get A LOT of water like in a really bad load of gas). I remember the "good old days" or rust flakes blocking intakes, filters, and other rusty tank issues....like holes in them.
