I have a 2004 9-5 Aero Biopower tuned by Maptun. Almost any car 1985 or later is E85 compliant, since standard US petrol already can have up to 10% ethanol. Only thing I have read is that petrol acts as a lubricant for the fuel pump and ethanol does not. I run petrol every third, forth or fifth tank and that should be fine. It is a good fuel for turbo cars since it burns cooler and equates to about 110 octane leading to less knock, especially in hot weather. Ethanol is definitely less efficient however. I measure about 30% lower fuel mileage, along with about 30% lower cost. With the added power and torque however, it is definitely worth it.
