e85 ?

Ok so i've done alittle research about it and all I could find is it better for the enviroment, easier to make, mileage may be reduced up o 25% per tank, made in the USA,,,,


What I was looking for though is what are the mechanical differences in or on the engine?

higher/lower compression?
does the carb need to be ran richer/leaner with e85?
hotter/colder spark?
more or less timing?

what?

With the gas prices climbing i'm kinda interested in an alternative, but more just curious about the differences to the engine itself.
