 E85 is 85% ethanol with 15% gasoline added, for cold weather starting
and so you can see any flames if it catches on fire. Unfortunately, it
also means fighting an E85 fire with water is less successful. Water
fire extinguishment is the reason Indy racing went from using a
cornucopia of fuels to mandating straight methanol only.
