I'm sorry that I am skeptical, but the numbers do not add up in a major way. I would love to be proven wrong, and I will even put away my flame suit if it turns out I'm completely off-base. But so far, this is not passing the basic sniff test.

Perhaps the "published specs" are taking into account a small, low compression, 92 octane, normally injected engine. I think the thing you are forgetting is our 12.5:1 CR, direct injection effects and the effects e85 has on knock.
