Default No Ethanol Gas...Yay or Nay?

I'm starting to see "no ethanol" gas pumps at my local gas stations. Pure gas should give better gas mileage but it's at 87 octane which means that performance could drop. I've read that no ethanol gas won't damage your car so I'm curious to try it.

What do you ladies/gents think?

Ethanol doesn't do any good but you need to run 91 in these motors. I run E0 Shell 91 in my NX.

No worry about ethanol gas, just make sure it's E10 max. Also, you do NOT need to run premium neither but remember you will loose power and less mpg.

since 2002 until now I have owned 5 Lexus and 5 Toyota and I pump 89 E10 95% of the time (just because it's only $0.07 more than 87 e10) and have no problems whatsoever. I may have 400,000 miles total on these years.
