Please excuse my ignorance, but what's the idea behind removing the ethanol from the fuel?

Ethanol is well documented for attacking rubber parts on older vehicles (fuel lines, carb "o" ring etc), also it readily absorbs water from condensation in the atmosphere, and it sits in the bottom of your fuel tank, rusting it away from the inside and clogging carbs.
