you'd also have to make sure your entire fuel system was alcohol-safe.
it can attack plastics gasoline doesn't, and can encourage corrosion
in metals that gas doesn't attack.

and iirc you need much more carb heat to properly vaporize alcohol
too.

i don't know if the 15% gasoline in e85 in any way mitigates these
pure-alcohol behaviors.
