Add Sta-Bil Marine to you gas. It deals with all the issues of having Ethanol.

The Government is getting ready to up the Ethanol from 10% to 15%. It must be part of a stimulus plan. :P

Same boat as yours with no problems with engine.  I have to believe the mixture hurts performance at least a little bit.  Just make sure you run premium to get the best performance you can. 
"They" say it's not good to run ethanol through our engines, but I haven't had anyone come through with what damage it might cause.
