You shouldn't have to. Due to E85 partial innability to atomize properly in colder weather places like chicago and whatnot have E70 to allow for easier start ups. It reallys depends how you are tuned. If you are on the edge with E85 then yes your car will need to be tuned for E70. I will let Chris jump in here with his insight.

once you are tuned for E85 you will have to run E85 or you will run Rediculously Rich.

This may be off topic, but does anyone know how emission testing will be affected with E85?
