2 quick questions - 

1)  Anyone know if Ethanol in the gas will hurt my 79 MG Midget? 
What Octane should I run? The book says 91 but this is a high altitude area
(7000ft), with 85, 87, and 91 available...
Unleaded all the way, of course...

2)  Leyland manual says don't push start the car - use jumpers.  Something
about a *possibility* of damage to catalytic converter under "certain
conditions"... WTH???

Thanks!!!
