Correct!
The difference in price is not worth the ultimate headache of alcohol corrosion, and swelling of plastic orifices in the new carburetors.

I currently run five 4-cycle small engines; three (forgot one in previous post) B&S, one Honda, one Tecumseh. For the past 15 years, I have consistently operated them with standard E-10 pump gas, treated with Sta-Bil. I keep about 25 gallons of treated gas on hand. Three of them get run dry before over-winter storage, two do not. NONE of them; (yes, that's right: ZERO) give any difficulty with starting after storage. NO, I don't have carburetor problems. NO, they don't gum up. NO, the fuel lines don't rot. They just plain run.
YMMV.
OTOH, 2-cycle engines are a completely different matter ... In them, ethanol is evil.
