E85 use.. again.. V70-XC70

Gas is skyrocketing.. I've done my research.. apparently there is not much to do to convert to run on 100% E85.. commments and opinions will be appareciated.

while apparently I am not supposed to do so, I am now on a REGULAR basis, blending E85 into my gas whenever I top off, sometimes as much as 1/3 tank, one time I even had the gull to run 1/2 tank E85, 1/2 tank gasoline..The results were lower gas milagem, and nothing else.. but not so low that its not worth it.. when gasoline is $3.25 and E85 is $2.49 you start to think..
I am doing this for obvious reasions..a) the price gasp between E85 and gasoline in my area, in some cases is as much as 50-60 cents now. even with the 30% reduced mileage( in my opinion more like 10-15% less) it is cost effective..anybody else still expermenting with E85..
according to the link I have posted above, which in my opinion is very informative, all volvos made after 1988 have ethanol resistant plastics..etc, yada,yada..
check out the link, let me know what you think..
