E85 is a 85% Ethanol/15% Gasolene mix. What you see is E10 or 10% Ethanol, which is perfectly acceptable to your engine. It might lower your economy slightly, but it burns cleaner. I think I used up to E15 in our H3 on a trip out West, and obviously there are no ill-effects. E85 is too rich however. I suspect it's like a 95 octane equivalent, since most E10 mixes I've seen are only 89.
