reg gas actualy make more power then premi gas.
premi just has a slower burning flame front that makes it safer to run with F.I, advanced timing and high comp

I just had my fuel exam, If you take a engine and run it on a dyno on reg gas it will come up wih a higher hp(very very little)then the exact same engine and conditions with preimium gas.

my teacher proved it on the engine dyno and in his race car.
the last run of the last race last year he said y not and ran reg gas in his race car, he said it was very very minimul but the car ran its fastest time of the year/day

E85 has an octane rating of 105, which is higher than typical commercial gasoline mixtures (octane ratings of 85 to 9; however, it does not burn as efficiently in traditionally-manufactured internal combustion engines. The use of pure E85 in standard gasoline car engines will void the manufacturer's warranty, disrupt oxygenation control in fuel-injected cars, and result in power loss. It may also interfere with proper operation of the catalytic converter.

E85 can also cause engine damage, since prolonged exposure to high concentrations of ethanol may corrode metal and rubber parts in older engines (pre-198 designed primarily for gasoline. Post-1988 fuel-injected cars are designed to accept E10 fuel, and may be tolerant of higher concentrations of ethanol to varying degrees, usually up to at least 20%.

Another risk is that of water contamination, which can produce engine wear directly and through corrosive formic acid in the combustion process.

Sure, go ahead and use it
