We've been discussing this on FastVairs / Corvair Center for the last 6 
months...

Paul Fox has been running his  Vair on E85  since the middle of winter.

No Failures of any fuel system parts....

Had to increase Jets to get some power back [ less BTU's]  But the car NEVER 
pings now! [over 100 octane!]

Mileage is way down! [  he hasn't been keeping records...just seat of the 
pants....days between fillups....and car is only used to commute to work...

Also.....just like the NEW ones.....under 30 deg.     hard to start!
