As for the ethanol, it should be labeled at the pump. Usually straight 87 octane, 87 octane with 10% ethanol and sometimes premium with no ethanol.
Don't let the detractors around during here fool you- politics aside, 10% ethanol works just fine in pretty much everything and won't hurt a single thing. Too many people have driven too many miles trouble free, including me and my wife.
Here's my experience.
Kum and go give me the worst fuel economy around. Horrible food but good customer service.
Caseys gas gives me better fuel economy and had 91E0. Good food but horrible service.
There a lot of P66/ConocoPhillips and a few BP that gives me top tier for the same price. Usually not very nice stores except for a couple.
QuikTrip has given me the best fuel economy from my mpg tests on the focus. They offer 91E10 for the same price of 87E0 typically. Decent food and decent service and top tier.
I did notice the Walmart put up a new Murphy USA that had 93E10, first I've seen 93 in central IA.
In NW IA I like the Sinclair and Cenex stations for fuel. I rarely buy gas station food.
Ive never had a fuel related issue with any of them besides my non scientific mpg tests.
