You misread what he said. What he meant was Regular gas can be E10 But regular gas can also have no ethanol (100% gasoline).
Regardless of what he wrote that’s what he meant. It’s not that hard to understand.

What I posted:
Regular gas can be E10, but it doesn't necessarily have any ethanol at all in it.
The "it" in my statement referred to "regular gas," not E10. Maybe I should've specified "regular gas" instead of using the pronoun, but reading it as "Regular gas can be E10, but E10 doesn't necessarily have any ethanol at all in it." doesn't make any sense, so I didn't figure anybody would read it that way.
At any rate, around here, "regular gas" is 87 octane unleaded, regardless of ethanol content.

That may have been what you read, but it's not what I posted.

I wasn't using it the refer to non-ethanol fuel. You were just reading it that way. It really is that simple.
