I believe its actually up to 10%. Which most cars will actually pick up horsepower if running straight 93 over that. The fuels are not only different but your spraying them just before combustion, which doesnt even allow them to "mix" at all. It would make tuning more difficult and inconsistent.

Have you personally ran it or tried it to have first hand experience ? car runs great on motor with e85 when its cool out but this hot *** weather is killing it

Mixing fuel like that will make tuning very hard to do and inconstant. If you are using e85 then use e85 in your stand alone or e98 in your stand alone. If you are using 93 octane, use your 116 in the stand alone.
