I know some of you were interested in this considering the detonation resistance of 105 octane. You should be awaire though that the like gasoline, different winter blends cause different properties, apparently w/ e85 it's a 70% ethanol 30% gasoline blend. Anyway, check this out for tuning properties, I know it's a subie site but just try and overlook that;

Everyone I've talked to that runs E85 says its a wash in cost because of the inefficiency vs. price. It doesn't sound like a great option for regular driving right now, but I bet that improvements are made in both engines and fuel to make it better. Just my .02
