Engine Damage Caused By Ethanol Gasoline!?

I came across this interesting article about Ethanol Gasoline and how it not only damages engines but it can reduce fuel economy? I've been using the wrong fuel for my lawn for years apparently. Phew, WOW. I realize that Ethanol mixed gasoline is supposed to help farmers and according to the US Government be an alternative fuel!? Hmmm that just doesn't seem right. Why do so many things seem backwards here? Expert's thoughts?



Here is common information that I come across...
"Outdoor power equipment engines, including those found in lawnmowers, chainsaws, and string trimmers, are susceptible to corrosion damage caused by E10, or gasoline that contains 10 percent ethanol. E10 is common in most U.S. gas stations. While ethanol has been shown to cause damage to all engines, small engines found in outdoor power equipment run a higher risk of being damaged by ethanol due to less frequent use. To protect your investment, use a fuel stabilizer containing an ethanol treatment with each fill-up. This is an easy and inexpensive way you can protect your small engine from corrosive damage caused from ethanol."
