A few of the counties around here are going to be switched totally to
gasohol in November.  Is this likely to cause any problems, given that
the Miata seems to be sensitive to fuel choices?

I see two potential problems:

1) Damage.  Unlikely, I guess.

2) Drivability.  (The winters are cold enough here that premium is not
a good fuel choice.  Will that make a difference?)

I'm sure some of you have tried gasohol in your cars, through choice
or coercion...?
