The rumor among the local good old boys is that the alcohol in e85 isn't denatured with 2% methanol because the gasoline serves as the denaturing agent. However if a couple of ice cubes are thrown in a mason jar full of e85, the gasoline will precipitate out and can be poured off, leaving a nice cool glass of super potent 'shine.

I haven't been so down and out as of late to confirm whether this is true or not.

That matches what I've heard.

May you never be, FRiend. May you never be!

It will certainly settle out; drinking it would give one the willies, evry bellyache or headache or whatever after that would scare the pants off you; unless you're a wino.
