So I've been running nothing but e85 after 1st tank of 93 and I love it. But i've got a few questions

1. Does anyone know how our injectors and pump filters behave with e85? As in do the injectors & filters eventually clog/need consistent maintenance?
I ask because this isn't my first e85 car. My Evo9 would get considerable buildup in the filters & injector tips every 10kish miles(car only ran e85).

2. Do we need to cycle with the occasional 93 to help with buildup? With Evos the common remedy to the buildup was to use a tank of 93 per 5-6 tanks of e85.

3. Lubrication. Given the alcohol content, is it possible that piston rings & valve seats/guides could wear down quicker without the lubrication that comes with pump gas?
