Ethanol in gas for mowers- is it really bad?

I heard typical gas station unleaded, has up to 10% ethanol, and its the worst thing for small engines, particularly mower engines. man, is that what has been my problem for years, every 2 or so years I have to dismantle and clean out my carbs? They say the ethanol "congeals", and clogs orfices in the carbs. Is this baloney, people??



That the best alternative is to get ethanol free gas, or add "stabilizer", which "coats" the orfices in the carbs and keeps them from clogging. Sounds like "too good to be true".
