Welcome

You are killing your car by running E85. Yes its high octane, but the engine gaskets and seals are not designed to hold up to alcohol.

E-85 is actually less efficient than gasoline

Higher octane to help control KR (pre-detonation under boost), but less power in the fuel than petroleum based gasoline.

When Oregon switched to a 10% Ethanol blend in normal gasoline, both my cars lost 0.3 seconds (3 tenths metric for you swedes) on the quarter mile (0.25 mile metric).

Start with Techinfo. That may answer alot of your questions.
