The E10 that is pretty much standard issue fuel isn't going to hurt your fuel system.
Ethanol and Methanol are two totally different types of alcohol. Ethanol is a grain alcohol (drinking alcohol). Methanol is a wood grain alcohol and you'll go blind and can even die if you drink it.
Methanol is what racers use, and it is the volatile, corrosive, toxic one. The misinformation being passed around, such as what I just read above, (putting methanol in the same category as ethanol), is one of the contributors to the "a little alcohol in the gas is bad for the system" myth.
Google em both if you want to know more about them.

Really the only ones who benefit from Ethanol are the farmers who produce the corn.

They use corn feed for animals, which in turn makes it more expensive to feed the animals, driving food costs up still. Try again.
