Ethanol in gasoline is the most ridiculous idea on the planet. This garbage destroys engines over the winter. I shut off the petcock and drained the bowl on my motorcycle last Fall. Got it out yesterday and the thing won't run. Looks like the petcock has a very slow leak, allowing some gas in the bowl to varnish up. I despise this crap and the government for mandating it too.
 
Buy the good stuff.
I used to work on small engines back couple years ago when this stuff was really rampant they've come up with selling non-ethanol fuel at some of the gas stations I used to tell people if you don't use it within a month throw it out and for your last tank of the Year use can gas it's available at most of the Home Center stores and let that run through the carburetor and then drain everything it seemed to help
