Default E85...whats the score with this stuff?

Id like some info on this fuel please.
Is it a bio fuel that gives around 107ron like ive read?
Also read on 22b of a E100 but it was only used at a 20% ratio.
So can you use E85 neat?
And whats the deal with E100?
Dave Beck got me thinking of it,with him having a Morrisons just next to him.
So did a google search for the closest one to me and its only 1 mile further away than my closest shell garage.
So is there an advantage of useing this over V power(with or without octane booster)?
And what about meth....can you mix....say 80% E85 with 20% meth?
Lots of questions here but would be nice to know the score before building a Solaris multi map plan.
Cheers.....

You need to talk to Dynamix (Duncan) about E85 as he runs his Time Attack car on that.
