Is it possible to convert to E85?

I was wondering if there was anyone out there that has successfully converted their xB2 to run E85. Also, what does it take to convert to E85 and is it worth it?

No its not worth it (unless you are going boost). Your MPG drops & the cost of e-85 doesn't offset any gains from using it over regular 87.

It's not a practical thing to do yourself. Usually it would involve replacing the entire fuel system, due to the alcohol and the moisture that comes along with it.
