Question Can someone educate me on gas and ethanol?

Ok so we drove to CT this weekend and I needed to fill up on the way home (man I love getting 540 miles on a tank of gas). So anyway when it came time to fill up I stopped at a Sonoco station and as I was filling up I noticed a rather large sticker on the pump (and in fact all pumps at this station...which was the only station at this exit) that said 10% ethanol. There isn't anything like this on the pumps in my home town and honestly I have never seen it before even when traveling.

Knowing that ethanol does not have the same energy output I assume I am going to see a loss in efficency for this tank...true? Or does all gas contain 10% ethanol and I just didn't know it?
