Default E85 gas

I was wondering if anyone knew if Honda's would run on it. I have a 05 V6 Accord and its running 40 cents cheaper at 3.31. I have a heard a few different answers but would like to know what you guys thought?

Lets not forget that it wont work. Hondas are designed to run on gas and gas only E85 requires larger amounts of fuel to create the same enegry as gasoline you would need larger injectors, fuel pump, everything changes to run E85. Flexfuel cars detect the difference with sensors and have the componets to provide the added fuel required. I would guess that if you filled your honda up with E85 if it ran it would run like crap and likely set off Codes

We've already seen it on a couple of new Civics.
