Should better sell or keep an Protege 2003 (1.6 L)? Fuel with ethanol

I would really love the possibility of that car lasting for another 5 years. Might I be delusional?

My country's government announced that within some months, they making everyone use fuel with ethanol (10%). As far as I've googled and understand, it could take the fuel, and some parts replacements will be needed. What I'm worried about is, after replacing parts, the car lasting three years or less xD. I'm doing research still, and I try to be hopeful because I'm so attached to that car. Also, I came across this post excluding the motor 1.6, which is the version that I have.

Also, the total mileage is 147000km (91341.56)
