Concerning using fuel containing alcohol in the Coupe . . .

Besides what John said, gasohol can be lots worse than simple mogas in
stripping any sloshing compound (or even regular dirt) from tanks and hoses
and clogging up things that ought not get clogged.

Also, the alcohol can degrade things that are impervious to avgas and even
mogas.  Can you guarantee the insides of your fuel lines are impervious to
alcohol?  How about the varnish on the fuel gauge corks?  The diaphragm in
the fuel pump?  How about anything that's not metal?

NOT recommended unless you can, somehow, overcome these issues as well as
the legal ones.
