News flash: alcohol is used to REMOVE water from fuel! What do you think Dry-gas is?!?!
Keep rereading that until it sinks in.
News flash...Dry gas doesn't remove jack shit from the fuel...It only traps the water in suspension.
The "removal" part comes as the fuel is exposed to air, and the water evaporates with the ETOH.
But I'm sure such basic chemistry is way over your head.

Please explain, in detail, exactly how anything is supposed to "evaporate" in the completely sealed fuel system of a modern vehicle! Be specific.
It is held in suspension in the alcohol and burned in the engine.
I give up. This is like trying to explain something to my cats.
of course they did, destroying cars is more important than feeding people.
Pablum. This is the myth that just refuses to die! I have been running E10 for more than ten years...ZERO, ZILCH, NO PROBLEMS to report.
No, not pablum.Pablum. This is the myth that just refuses to die! I have been running E10 for more than ten years...ZERO, ZILCH, NO PROBLEMS to report.
ETOH fuel dried out all the gaskets on my motorcycle and one of our small 2-cycle outboard motors.
The stuff is total shit for small engines.
Horse shit. I have run it in no less than a dozen small engines (many of them 20+ years old). The sum total of the problems resulting was having to clean out the carb on a 20-year-old leaf blower when the alcohol loosened years of crud in the fuel system. Cleaned it out, I'm still using that leaf blower. I have run my old (late 70's!) generator for easily 1000 hours on E10...it ran 19 days straight at one point without a hiccup. My wife's old motorcycle (1979 Suzuki) had no problems with E10. None of the half dozen vehicles I help prep for winter storage have had a problem.
In your case, I suspect operator error.
the supplies of ethanol producers has not taken away any corn fom the mouths of those Frito banditos.
First you people bitch to get ethanol blends made from corn, then you bitch to not make it. Make up your minds.
Listen the authoritarian central planner douchebags and their useful idiot apologists, who would rather wield absolute authority than feed people.
central planners like the farmers that pushed ethanol production years ago to raise the price of grain futures?
No, not pablum.

And that is why the FAA does not allow its use in airplanes. It also reduces your mpg so while the price is a few cents lower, you're filling up more often. I've lost around 20% of my mpg due to ethanol.
Horse shit! E10 will drop mileage, at the most, about 5%. (In a flex-fuel vehicle, E85 will drop mileage about 20%.) Having done a direct comparison, even that is often stretching it. You need to STOP LYING.

So my fucked over motorcycle carbs and outboard motor that needed an overhaul long before its time -both with irreparably dried out gaskets and seals- are complete figments of my imagination.
Gotcha.
As I said: in your case, I suspect operator error. Four different motorcycles (my wife's 1979 Suzuki, my mother's & stepfather's Suzuki LS650 Savages, my uncle's Yamaha cruiser, all carbuerated), ZERO E10 related problems. My wife's 'Zuki had close to 95,000 miles when she sold it.
Yeah...You're right and thousands of mechanics are wrong.
BYW, the alcohol in drygas attracts moisture out of the fuel to later evaporate it in use...But it's not a good thing when the fuel is in storage in a closed container, like a motorcycle or farm equipment in winter storage.
