All we can use is 10% ethanol, no more.
E85 is for the GM flex fuel vehicles etc. The car has to be designed for it.

Ethanol is much more corrosive to a standard fuel system than is gasoline, and would foul regular fuel lines after only a few tankfuls. Given that E85 has a lower energy density, your fuel economy is also lower, which is why flex fuel cars have a 30% larger fuel tank than standard cars.
