This is my 2 cents worth. I have an 8N, and I would never use e85 in it, especially when you can use regular unleaded.

The local college did some research on E85 and found that it worked efficiently in engines with much higher compression ratio. I don't remember the exact ratio, but it was around 11 to 1. This explains why ethanol is used in race cars, especially the winged sprints. When they are running around the track, you can smell it.

If you burn e85 in any low compression engine, you will notice a large increase in consumption.
You will not save any money.
