MPG will go down considerably. Power will go up. I’ve looked into converting my weekend car to run it. Can get to over 800whp easily but my fuel economy will cut in half to around 6mpg which just doesn’t work for me since there’s only a few stations with it in my area.

Yeah, you don't understand how this works. E85 doesn't provide any power boost. It allows one to retune and use more aggressive timing and a:f to boost power.
