100% of the gas in the US has 10% ethanol, you've were using it for years down here. Modern cars are designed to handle the ethanol blend, the only time I've heard of problems has been with older cars where the lines weren't able to handle the ethanol content. Ethanol burns clean, I wouldn't expect any deposits unless the car is running excessively rich.
