I was wondering if anyone has any information if ethanol has any effect on my engine?

Ethanol creates several different problems on older vehicles, such as lower gas mileage in many cases, less power, percolates in the carburetor making the car had to start when hot, tends to eat seals and etc.

You can do a search on Chevy Chatter II for more information since the effects of Ethanol has been discussed recently.

If I owned a petrol vehicle I would not use ethanol fuel in it. LPG is a lot cheaper and cleaner fuel.
