The real unfortunate thing about gasoline-powered vehicles is that they HAVE to maintain a specific air fuel ratio at all times. E85 requires a slightly richer mixture than gasoline and also has less energy per volume than gasoline.
This means that not only do you need more E85 per combustion event, but the force exerted on the crankshaft from the piston is significantly less as well.
