Now don't you all instantly reply telling me how stupid that was! I have done my reading and talked to people who have converted to E-85
I felt very naughty doing it - like removing the tag on a mattress that says "DO NOT REMOVE"
The E-85 pump is absolutely COVERED with warnings not to use it on anything but the official flex-fuel vehicles. Seems more like the fuel company covering their @$$ in terms of liability if anything did happen!
Well, it's a start. That's my first use of at least partly non-gasoline long-distance fuel. It's not my long-term plan, but at least I'm doing something!

I've been running mixtures up to E50 for couple of years in non FFV. No problems. Frank Lee also has a lot of experience running high mixtures of E85 in his non FFV without problems. He even lives up there in the cold country.
I personally think it's much to do about nothing if you're running in a car that was manufactured after 1988.
Here's another thread on it.
