I have a 1999 Olds Cutlass same as Malibu, I was wondering if I can run E 85 fuel with no changes to the engine? any one run this fuel? how does the car run?

pretty sure your '99 has a 3.1 or 3.4???
only GM engines prepped for E85 currently in your vehicles age bracket were certain 2.0 and 2.2 EcoTecs, and the 5.7 in Commercial Vans and the Big Block 8.1? for industrial use.
