It's probably pretty similar, considering e50 is 100 octane and e85 is 105.
I can't really think of a reason it
wouldn't work mechanically... all the fuel components would be the same as if you got an e30 tune. You might need bigger injectors or fuel pump but it wouldn't hurt you to not have them... you just wouldn't really see power gains without.
Ethanol also has a cooling effect, so e30 shouldn't cause higher engine temps.
I still wouldn't run a fuel other than what was my car was tuned for though. In theory, it seems logical enough. But I wouldn't want to test it for the sake of slightly cheaper gas.
