Its green credentials are shaky (much better from sugar cane but US doesn't have the climate) but at least it's one less thing being pumped out of the ground. In Europe there is up to 5% ethanol on 95 RON and up to 10% in 98 RON. People are frankly paranoid about ethanol for some reason, and yes you lose out on mpg unfortunately. It would be ridiculous to suggest you need to try to flush out a pump before filling your bike though.
