you will be fine. I have heard rumors of older cars having difficulty with the added ethanol though. I live in Oregon and there is a newly implemented state law that all gas has up to 10% ethanol in it. I haven't noticed any performance difference, but it should be noted that my gas mileage has dropped slightly because of it. My wife has a toyota matrix commutor car with regular gas and her gas mileage dropped as well.

In new America in the winters we run a ethanol mix due to the EPA & the 3 sets of mountains that surround my city. 3 winters now with no problems, you will be okay. Don't think the mileage has fallen off & the stereo doesn't really sound any better either.
