My last Ford power window failure was a window regulator on a Mountaineer.

According to Pure Gas website, there are 22 vendors in MA with non-ethanol gas available:

You live there and I don't so maybe you know something beyond the website? My guess is that whoever you are asking for non-ethanol gas is just saying "It's illegal here" to blow you off. So damn many things are illegal in MA it makes a plausible statement.
