Ethanol fuel treatments

It's hard to find gas here that's not 10 percent ethanol has anybody used the Lucas fuel treatment for ethanol fuels? Is it necessary or more harm than good?

"It will restore lost mileage from ethanol's lower energy content, remove the damaging deposits left by ethanol solvency and control water build-up that ethanol draws in from the atmosphere."

If this is the case is it worth running E85 if i get the tune? I don't want any deposits left behind.

I've been using it for about a month and its quieted the chirping and the idle has been smoother. So it seems to work pretty well.
