Yes, the fuel trims will take care of the fueling. There isn't a huge point in doing it unmapped, it'll just increase the octane of the fuel in your tank slightly.

Anyone run a E85 mix on a permanent basis? I have to travel 20 miles to get V-power so it wouldn't be that much more of a inconvenience to use a V-power/E85 mix on a permanent basis to be honest.
Are their any drawbacks to running a E85/V-power mix permanently?

What car have you got? What sort of mix are you looking at? Are you getting it mapped?
Cars in the US have been running this stuff for 5-6 years with no real problems with the fuel system.

There is no unsafe mix as such, you just have to make sure your fueling system is up to scratch.. At 10% your 650's might be ok, speak to your mapper, 10% will see around a 5-7% power increase. 20+% mixes will probably mean you'll have to up the size of your injectors or adding a FPR.
