I've been using unleaded 92 octane with 10% ethanol in my supercharged '02 since '05 and have never had a problem. There are a couple stations that advertise premium non-ethanol, but they are out of the way and 12 cents per gallon higher.
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.

In a C5, I'd rather run 93 octane E10 than 91 octane non-ethanol. No evidence that E10 is harmful to C5s.
If you have a pre 1980's car, or boat, or lawnmower, then skip the ethanol. If you have a modern fuel injected car, ethanol is not an issue, and in fact offers some performance benefits, especially if you have a F/I or high compression motor.
