I have an 87 L98 and use it as a daily driver. What is the absolutely worst thing that will happen if I change to 87 octane gas but keep using the methanol additive?

Ooops! I meant ethanol, not methanol and the additive I am talking about is to negate the bad effects ethanol can have on an older engine.
I appreciate the comments though. I have not found a station around here which sells gas with no ethanol but I do limit it to 10% and use the additive. The reason I want to use 87 is entirely based on cost. I don't roughhouse the car and drive nice and sane most of the time. It's a daily driver and has about 110 grand on the clock, the engine is tighter than a tick.and I'd just as soon not ruin it to save a few bucks on its chow.
