you can do it like the old schoolers with 2 gallon of water through a vacuum hose to get the job done too. although i wouldnt recommend doing it on a turbocharged car :P
adding **** in your fuel isnt doing anything unless you're doing it every fillup and it dilutes the fuel nicely. its all a waste of money just like those octane boosters that boost your octane by .000001 realistically.

Since CA banned MTBE, to oxygenate gas companies use 10% ethanol. Some companies never used MTBE, like 76, and always has used E10 formula... and it was a wonder why they tuned less knock than other gasolines back in the day... makes total sense today.
He said a couple gallons...
2 gallons of e85 and 11-12 gallons of 91.

Careful though, when I did mine I guess I didn't let it run long enough to clear everything out. Come next morning I blew out another huge cloud of white smoke and got a CEL for running rich. Cleared it and no problems in the 5k miles since, just something to be aware of.
