Default E85

Has anyone experimented with E85 on boosted engines? It's reported to have a 105 octane rating. They list the 4.6L Ford Crown Victoria 2v as a compatible engine. Anyone try this on a 3v?

The manual says 05+ Mustangs are compatible with blended fuels, I am sure there are guys in the midwest that have used it.

We have it blended, but E85 is not compatible with our motors. Most blends in the MW are 10% ethanol.

I couldn't remember off the top of my head how they identified fuel blends, I am sure you could run E85 with an upgraded fuel system. But the long term effects of other parts have yet to be realized.
