^ Agreed. Ideally, an engine should be set up for one or the other, not both. However, the best we can do to handle both well is a moderate compression engine with plenty of boost. Pull some timing and cut the boost bigtime on gas, and crank it back up on E85, being continuously variable for a mixture of the 2.
