the "employee scoop" sounds like hype to me.
I've used hi-octane (91-93) exclusively in my rebuilt/modded Mitsu Starion turbo for 6+ years with no ill effects. Around here (Illinois corn fields), hi-octane gas ALWAYS has 10% ethanol.
Now, if you run low-octane "Gasohol" in a turbo engine, you might be in for some knocking and less power overall, but that's due to the octane level, not the alcohol.
Ethanol in small %'s (10-15) has never harmed any vehicle I've driven. BTW, I'm not a farmer, so I'm not stumping for the stuff - just saying it shouldn't be cause for worry.
