One thing to keep in mind is that E85 is unavoidably hard on certain seals, like the o-ring around the in-tank fuel pump under the driver's side of the back seat. Regular use will necessitate replacement every 2 years or so
I would be running at most e60 mix. I believe that's what I read. Fuel system wont keep up past that. Read stock at best e30ish but some have been able to get away with e50. I would not being running this every tank, and I don't drive the car all that much.

I'd like to hear from guys who run it just by calculating the mix. The motive way sounds best, agreed.
