Unless of course you have a high powered race at tuned for it. In which case, just run methanol instead, or 110 race gas.
Except its way cheaper than methanol or race fuel. Heck for boosted applications that would have to run premium unleaded, e85 is a higher octane (less likely to detonate, or tune for more performance) at more than $.50 /gal cheaper than premium. At least in my area. It's the best of all worlds, being safer for the engine, cheaper per gallon, and allowing more performance.

Cept you need to overhaul the whole fuel system other wise it will slowly eat away at all the gaskets, hoses, etc.

Seen it happen. It ain't pretty.

You'd have to do the same thing to run methanol, or to get the most out of race gas.

E85 should not be used in applications that aren't designed for it obviously. But in a vehicle that can use it, ( like boosted applications, or high performance NA setups), E85 is the best option going.

My credo
I need more sleep.
Well, I make sure not to run ethanol in my 46 Willys, because being how it wasn't designed at all for ethanol, I'm sure it would eat up everything.
