Can the Yaris run on E85? Anybody try it?

If I recall right, the injectors cannot handle the e85 and also since there is
so much alcohol content in that stuff, it'll eat/rot out your fuel lines like no other.

That turns out to be a fable. Vehicles built since the early 80's use rubber and plastics that are not susceptible to alcohol. The biggest concern with E85 is its ability to absorb water and hence corrode ferrous metal parts.

Nope. Modern flex fuel car fuel lines are different composition than normal E10 fuel lines.
