Default Quick Gas Question - 1991 Accord EX coupe

At work they're going to switch over to fuel that's 10% ethanol/90% gasoline instead of a reformulated gasoline like we've been doing. Anyway, I wanted to get some input on here to see if it's cool to use this gas in my car or if I should go to another station instead and get straight up gasoline?

it should not make a difference as some places uses a 85/15% blend of gas / whateverthanol

i dunno about you, but i tend to get less mileage and feels like less power out of these ethanol/gas mixes

it might be my imagination on the less power, but the mileage thing i have tested over and over.

ethanol does have worse fuel economy than gasoline. the power i dunno. i just needed to know whether it was safe to run the 90/10 gas/ethanol blend on my car.
