That’s what I did following the OFT E85 guide. Was struggling to drive 10 miles home near empty from Jay’s with tank light on but made it safely until night time. Then filled with 5 gallons at home, drove and monitored until trim spike and then switched maps. Then drove that tank down, filled another 5 gallons and drove that down to get rid of remaining gas.

I’m on my first full tank of E85 now and it feels really refined and powerful but does struggle a bit on start up even at around 65f ambient lol. Definitely worth it for spirited summer driving but probably going to struggle on start up more going into late September/October. Might be worth looking into cranking the injector pulses up like I read elsewhere on this forum.

I’ll probably be switching back to 93 in October for peace of mind but man is E85 fun to experience.
