Default 10% ethanol in a non flex fuel vehicle

I apologize if this has been covered before but today I went to gas up my truck (2004 FX4 screw) and noticed on the pump it had a sticker that said the fuel contains 10% ethanol. My question is will this fuel hurt a non flex fuel motor?

george w bush signed a bill into law that gas has to cotain 10 percent ethanol by a certain year, so good luck finding gas without it....... but back to the question it shouldnt hurt anything at all even if your motor is non-flex fuel

Gas has had ethanol blended into it since before that bill. E10 is totally fine for all vehicles and small engines.
