Sure, it is okay for any engine, even my '65 MGB. Most major metro areas use "oxygenated" gas (ethanol is the oxygen source) in the winter. I have been using it in Seattle for the last five years or so with no problems. It does absorb water and can congeal in the tank however, so you might want to toss in a bottle of gas dryer before you put in your first tank.
