Alright, I was wrong, (Sorry brandon) according to them, but thank you for that link, it is quite interesting. Just below that tidbit is another, more interesting fact:

At low temps (32*F) e85 vapor is more flamable than gasoline vapor.

edit: nvm.

Edit: also, I just read that the vapor settles in low spots, so would there need to be mods to the gas tank?
