I believe your argument is that if you use your tools regularly, E10 will not cause any problems. Aside from the breakdown of fuel hoses in many chainsaws, you are probably right. But by their very nature, most small engine powered lawn and garden tools are used only part of the year, and "sit on the shelf" for months. Who mows lawns or weed-whacks in the winter, when nothing is growing?
The original poster verified my suggestion that he tied the "crud" to the use of ethanol fuel, so I don't know on what basis you are disputing it.
Finally, even though E10 fuel may be better for the environment, the vast majority of it is used in constant-use automobiles, and the environment gets those benefits. But just because it works fine in cars doesn't mean we must use it in our intermittent use small engines as well, especially when many just dump out the unused fuel at the end of the season and waste it. And I don't understand how it lowers cost- we have one E85 station locally, and the cost of E85 is higher than gasoline, so it stands to reason that adding ethanol would increase the cost, even ignoring the lower fuel mileage you get.
