I have run up to E40 with good results. At about E50 I think I will max out some sensors though, even though I'm sure the ICE will take more.
Ford only made 20 E85 ready Escape Hybrids. I was lucky to come across the E85 hybrid in the photo below.

This thread has input from all sorts of hybrids. I'm interested in this thread because of the seat-of-the-pants research.
If the title of the thread is, "How to Blend your Own Gasoline, and Why You Should" I can assume that statement is the Problem. I'm guessing the hypothesis would be something like, Blending your Own Gasoline will Result in Better Gas Milage.
Several of you have done the experiment and have more or less given your results. I'm wondering if your results are broadly applicable to other platforms as a conclusion. Although I wouldn't ever think of using anything except what comes from a gas pump. I wonder also what Prius would say if I were to run E85 through my car ("Toyota allows. . . . the oxygenate up to 10% ethanol. . . ." (p319 Toyota 2006 Owner's Manual)
