I've been using mostly E0 pure gas here in Oklahoma.
 
I buy ethanol free regular for the SUV and economy cars. The Porsche and all the bikes get ethanol free super.

Occasionally I use Chevron regular and super to get a little Techron run through the injectors.

I only ever use Esso Supreme Unleaded fuel as i understand that although its marked up E5 it is Ethanol free. The thing is i filled up with it yesterday ( Friday 25 February) and i paid £1.69p per litre. It looks like the greedy companies are cashing in big time already. ( i only ever put E5 in my bikes anyway, i do not trust E10 to run clean )
Its utter profiteering.
 
The last 3 bikes I have purchased from a dealer (2 x Rockets and 1 Tiger) I was told by the dealer: "Never put Ethanol in the tank" so I have done just that.

Not possible in many places in the USA.
