The only time I buy gasohol locally is if I am returning a rental car. On my many road trips, most states have no E0 options, and I just grin and bear it, and it runs fine. I have replace all the rubber hoses from the tank to the injectors, so I am not too worried about booze in my tank. I always calculate a stop about 450 miles from home to fill up with whatever, and arrive home with as little gas as I am comfortable getting. Then fill up with real gas the next day.

Back when my original 305 in the El Camino had 250K+ miles it started to rattle and I suspect spark knock when cold or under full load. If I used the middle grade of gas it went away. When I pulled the 305 with 300K miles on it, and put in the 350, no more spark knock, so it does fine on regular.
