More than likely, you're already burning a fuel with 10% ethanol.
E-85 (85% ethanol) will technically still get you where you need to go, at great cost. Corn is much more prone to eating away rubber seals, gaskets, etc and therefore will cause your engine to deteriorate very fast.
Consumer Reports has done tests showing ethanol will ALWAYS get poorer gas mileage than 100% gasoline. E-85 gets about 15-25% worse MPG than the car is rated at, while the 10% "RBOB" mixture millions of people fill up with will only get about 2% worse mileage.

10% ethanol 93 oct made my MSP run lke crap.
I didn't notice till I was allready pumping. Then I stoppped so I could top it off with something better. Still ran like crap till that tank of fuel was finally diluted enough.

I had a tank or two of 93 octane 10% ethanol...I didn't notice a difference, though I don't use it any more just because I don't have to.
