Yeah the US has been stuck with E10 for quite a while, gas mileage suffers as a result and older cars suffer damage to rubber seals, gaskets and lines. The ethanol also tends to absorb water which is bad for cars that sit for long periods of time. The is also talk of raising the US standard to E15 or even E20 which would do even more damage.
If you can still get pure petrol in Europe take it while you can get it. Europe 98 RON = US 93 AKI Europe 95 RON = US 90/91 AKI
