You should be able to use atleast a 50% E85/50% E10 or pure gasoline in your FI engine. I have run as mych as 80% E85 in my non flex fuel 2000 Dakota with 4.7 V8 without problems. Fuel economy dropped 10% with the 80% mix. Power seemed normal and no check engine light, so the engine must be able to compensate the AF ratio for that mix.
I hear the claims of fuel system damage to non flex fuel engines, but I have had no problems and hear others with 50-100,000 miles on an E85/gasoline blend in non flex fuel engines without problems. For all but a few special conditions the warnings may be overblown.
