Of your gas cap is yellow, no it won't hurt it. If it is black it won't run well especially when it is cold. It won't get very good milage either. Limp it along till you run out at least half the tank then fill with fuel that does not contain any alcohol. After a few tanks the e88 will be diluted enough that cold start issues and poor economy will improve.

88 octane will be just fine. Your car may or may not be Flex Fuel, if it is you can run E85.
