John, I think that since the rotary has been run on everything from vegetable oil to Hydrogen gas, I think the odds  other than perhaps a slight decrease in power you've already mentioned, that there will likely be no noticeable effects.  However, some "rubber" type seals are effected by alcohol so would want to make certain that all rubber exposed to fuel can stand the alcohol mixture.

By the Farm Bureau Paper it is stated that Wisconsin has passed a law that all 87 no lead will contain 10% alcohol and that nine other states are considering it.  It didn't mention the other no lead grades.  Here in Michigan it is under consideration at this time, and there is a good chance it pass.  Other than cutting the power some what, is going to effect the operation of the rotary in some other way.  JohnD
