Miles per gallon will drop. Your vehicle is fuel injected and has the ability to compensate rich/lean over a limited range. Odds are a 100% dose of E-85 will run too lean.
The vehicle has OBD II. The O2 sensor output and fuel injector pulse width can be monitored to find the E-85 to gasoline mix where the ECM can no longer compensate.
If it was a vehicle from the Big Three, larger injectors were installed and a custom fuel/timing map programed in. The vehicle could be made to run reasonably well.
Time & $$$ howver.
If you really want to use E-85. Drive a factory built E-85 capable vehicle.
