Thanks, Lazarus! I wish I were more thorough in reading all of this stuff in the first place: it would have saved me a couple of posts...
Keep in mind that it is wiki. You can google E85 in conventional engines and find all kinds of forums and info from folks that have been running it for quite some time.

I think Minnesota is going to E20 pretty soon so that should tell you that at the least E20 should be ok in most cars.

My break even point cost wise was at E50. That's were the decrease in FE (10%) caught up with the cheaper fuel here.
