Multiple start failures on e85 when cold

Trying to start when < 50*F always results in a struggle, stumble, and stall. This morning it was 39*F and took me 7 tries to start the car, some of which sounded horrible. What kind of damage am I doing to my motor besides premature wear on the starter?

Sometimes it tries for a good while before finally cutting out. Should I just give in and switch to 91 during the winter? Running e85 using oft 4.03 ots tune, and haven't tried mixing in 91 but I dont always have time or patience. I will look forward to flexfuel in my future i suppose... if that works well with OFT

Thanks
