Question Anyone tried the Petrol with Ethanol fuel?

I've only just noticed it around my area and wondering if it's worth trying in my Territory, I use Premium fuel 90% of the time. It is 95 Octane and about eight cents a litre cheaper than Premium.

I've heard some horror stories about it, like it rusts metal parts of the fuel system, causes condensation to pool into blobs of water in the tank which blocks fuel filters.
Is this true or just a scare campaign from the oil industry?

Is it any good?
