I almost exclusively run non-oxygenated gas and as long as I have done this I have had no fuel related issues. This is why I stick with it. Properly blended gas will work in most newer motors just fine but the issue is you are at the mercy of it being properly blended. As gas tanks sit idle the alcohol and gas start to separate. If you buy gas in the boonies at odd times or even in a metro area form a slow station there is a higher probability of this happening and that's when you see issues. For me it’s not worth the risk. If I lived in Florida and could fish every day I may be more cavalier about it but the 100-150 days out of the potential 210 I get to spend on the water each year is gold to me and spending a little more on gas is cheap insurance.
