Ciao - I have the same experience- I try to keep pure gas in my s500. I have a small truck as my daily driver - occassionally it will get some ethanol blend and I can tell immediately. After a fill up of pure gas - the symptoms go away after just a few miles of driving.
Everyone needs to stay away from ETHANOL if you can - but it is getting harder and harder to do so.
