Take it a nearby auto parts store that will read engine codes for free. See what they say.

My concern with driving it very far as-is would be that a serious misfire (i.e. a dead cylinder) will send 20% of your raw fuel into the catalytic converter. That could cause the converter to get very hot and possibly start a fire. But other than that...
