Never believe the government! 
Alls I know is my '29 ran fine on the summer blend non-ethanol 87 octane from a station about 4 miles from my house. Switched to winter blend, the thing vapor-locked on the first tank and continued to give me fits for a month until some of the wiser old owls told me to mix in some kerosene to dumb down the gas.
I just filled her up again last weekend, 18 gallons of non-ethanol 87 octane, 1-1/2 gallons of cheap Walmart kerosene, it runs fantastic on this mix and it also runs about ten degrees cooler. The kerosene costs more than the gas, but, it's darned sure proving itself worth it.
