E85 feedback

Just looking for some feedback on people running E85 blends with their cars. Is there a generally accepted amount of E85 we can run without problems. Has anyone been monitoring injector duty cycles to see how much headroom there is with the stock fuel system?

If you can read AFR that would be great.
I usually mix like 2.5-3 gal of E85 with a full tank.
Make sure AFR doesn't go lean.
