I'm curious to see how things change when you use an engine designed specifically for E85. I'm told ethanol behaves a lot like high-octane gasoline, which means an engine built for ethanol could have greatly increase compression, which can improve economy. Alternatively, you can run much higher boost, which I believe can directly improve efficiency, or can simply be combined with a very small engine.
