im not that knowledgable of a human, but i think that that is a bad idea. e85 has alcohol and that wears down rubber a lot faster that convetial gasoline and is just hard on the engine, so unless youve modded your internals it might not do you to good. what are you trying to get out of putting e85 and gas in your engine. you are already getting high mpg?

Without rejetting the carbs, it won't work very good, and will probably ruin the fuel system. E85 engines require more fuel to run, so your engine will be running lean at best, and probably do some damage from pre-ignition.
