Angela,
the fuel system of your car will most likely not tolerate more than 30% E85 in gasoline. The "black box" has to be adjusted to increase the highest possible fuel amount to be injected.
I think that the easiest way is to get a car with a carburettor, and enlarge the main injector to  a proper size, which means making it 30-40% wider. But that car will not be able to run on pure gasoline again, unless you switch back to the original main injector.
Be aware that some fuel pums disapprove of ethanol showing this by stop working.
Best of luck to you
Jan

Subject: [Biofuel] Question about E85

Does anyone know if anything has to be done to the fuel system if you're planning on running E-85 in your vehicle?  I have heard conflicting stories.  I have a 2001 Chevy Impala that I would fill up with E85.  I've been using 10% Ethanol with no problems.
 
Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
