Diesel-Ethanol

I pulled into a Mobil station a couple weeks ago to fill up the 300TD. I was surprised and a little confuse by the yellow-handled diesel pump and a "contains ethanol" sticker directly above the diesel pump.

Long story short, I went elsewhere and found a good ol fashion green diesel pump.

What gives? Is this something I should avoid down the road? The station in question isn't a normal stop for me; but they did have ULSD/#2 pumps previously.
