Only been running e85 in the frs for a few hundred miles. Apart from a more frequent oil change schedule (every 2-3k miles) there really is no increased wear and tear to speak of. This has been the case of every e85 tuned car I've driven in the last 10 years. The reason for the more frequent oil changing is because of a faster oil contamination rate when running ethanol.
