Default how does 10% ethanol gas affect Acuras and Honda's?

Many of our local gas stations are now labeled "gas includes 10% ethanol" on the pump.

I have a 93 Accord (2.2liter) and a 2000 3.2TL.

Normally I run 89 or 91 octane in the TL and I run 87octane in the Accord.
The stations that have the ethanol some don't say which octanes it's included in, but others only have the sticker beside the 87 octane.

How does the 10% ethanol affect the engine, performance, etc? I'm just leary of such gas.

Any guidance is welcome.

Most gasoline sold today contains 10% ethanol, and it's perfectly fine to run in your car at those levels.
