I'd recommend non-ethanol, if you can get it. I run E-10 in cars I've had since new, but I'd be hesitant in an older car for the reasons mentioned (never designed with ethanol in mind, can clean out a lot of gunk). If you do decide to use it, be sure you change the fuel filters frequently...at least for a while.

And while a lower-octane might be sufficient for highway cruising, you never know when you're going to put your foot into it. So I'd err on the side of higher-octane or boosters.

The other thing to remember is that you will bet lower mileage on any ethanol blend...just not as much energy as "pure" gas.
