Good to see you again

Having an E85 pump around must be awesome. There's only a handful in the Bay Area, so I gave up seeking them out just to blend a gallon or two into the tank to raise the ethanol content. At ~20% ethanol my gas mileage was only barely impacted, but I'd like to think that the engine was more smooth and making some more power (it probably was). With boost, it's a no brainer. If it were me I'd keep a couple jugs around if there isn't a station super close to where you live and pour a gallon into every tank as octane booster.
