I have heard that some stations have no ethanol or lower amounts in their premium gasolines but they don't advertise it. Most all stations that I use that have multiple hoses on a single unit only put one sticker showing the percentage of ethanol on the unit and it's typically near the 87 octane unleaded regular hose.
Good to know. Thx.

In a vehicle like your C5 that isnot a flex fuel, E85 is death to your engine. Don't use it.
