Be careful when getting fuel

Today I stopped by the suzuki dealership for some advice on my gz250 issue (see trouble shooting bike fell=stalling, if you want to give some advice...) and he gave me a good bit of info in reguards to gasolines and some stuff gas companies were trying to get away with, so I felt I should share this info just in case it could help anyone.
He mentioned to me that since gas now has ethanol in it all kinds of weird issues are coming up in bikes of all kinds. 10% ethanol isn't horrible on a bike, but he said to be careful since some states/gas stations don't display the content (even though they legally have to...) and some gas companies are sneaking more ethanol into their product. and more ethanol means bad news for bikes and small engines...so be careful out there when ya get gas these days.
