I remember there used to be an optimax extreme or something a few years back that was 100 octane using 5% ethanol but not sure if it took off.

there has been a few threads over the time about 100 octane its just 98 with ethanol to make up the other 2, only thing is extensive use of ethanol can dry out motor, but i doubt only 5% would make a massive difference

Isn't it only really beneficial if your car is tuned for the higher octane rating?

Have a look at this credible research into a non flex fuel vehicle using E85 with direct comparison to another vehicle using standard pump fuel. There is no suggestion that the engine using E85 has encountered any extra engine wear due to using 85% ethanol. Which makes this "common knowledge" sound like another misconception http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuOs1yap8mU Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
