Is there any problems running no ethanal 93 ?

Nope.
I ran 100% gasoline for a while until I got my tune, my car actually picked up 6-8hp on back to back dyno pulls using 10% ethanol over pure gas. I wanted to know if there was a difference in power between the two.
I figured 100% would make more power (it does on my bikes but they have no knock sensors) but it was the opposite with the GT.
Don't know if it's a slight cooling effect of the ethanol or if the computer just likes it better......the 10% stuff may allow for some additional timing.

Ethanol has more energy so more hp but less mpg.
It produces less energy than gasoline.
My bad. Higher octane but less energy so less mpg.
I know it's somewhat off topic but I just paid $400 to have both my snow blower and pressure washer rebuilt due to ethanol gas. Water settled into the bowl assemblies on both and rusted them out. Now I purchase ethanol free gas, haven't had an issue yet.
