Waste of effort if you have to go out of your way for it at all. It doesn't really do anything for you, except that it may quiet crickets, not because of the lack of ethanol but because of the difference in the additive packages and blends. When I tried it to get rid of crickets it either made no difference or made the crickets louder, depending on the station. I have had much better luck using gas with 10% ethanol from brands whose additive packages aren't as noisy in my fuel pump.
Additionally, the Top Tier standard includes a requirement that the fuel have 8% to 11% ethanol as a cleaning agent (nominally 10%). If you buy ethanol-free gas, it's not Top Tier gas. That may mean nothing at all if the gas is fresh. Or it may mean that the gas is crap because it not only doesn't meet the ethanol standard, but also doesn't meet other parts of the Top Tier standard.
You will go slightly farther per gallon on ethanol-free. But you'll pay more for it, so you don't save any money and probably end up paying more overall.
