I likewise can't prove it, but I believe there is more to it than just
ethanol.  "Reformulated" gasoline has a whole bunch of restrictions as to
vapor pressure, sulfur content and so on.  It looks, smells and acts a lot
different than I would expect from just dumping a pint of "white lightning"
into every gallon of "classic" gasoline.

And ethanol by itself evaporates cleanly, rather than leaving that hard,
white deposit that clogs jets and so on.
