I am in houston tx and all the fuel here has 10% ethanol added and I have heard that this is no good for the engines.. How many of you have experience with this and what are they. Also how many have tried the coleman fuel and is this better??

If running gas I use 87 octane with 2oz of Amsoil, 2.5oz for break in. I prefer to run Ozark mixed with amsoil as I don't care for the smell of gas. Coleman is pretty much the same as Ozark.
Higher octane gas from what I've heard doesn't really yield any better performance from the motor since they were designed to run on low octane gas.

The SameI am running the same as CJ but with Coleman mostly... I have been very happy with it and it is consistent.... The only problem that I have with the Coleman is every time that I fly past myself, I want a hot dog or burger......gotta love it!!!!
