of course, like every new thing, there are going to be myths that need to be busted. just becasue you overheard a guy in the men's room of the Quickie-mart that said that he heard that a friend's cousin's wife tried E85 in her 1973 Pinto and her fuel tank fell apart, doesn't mean that it actually happened.
and, to get to the original question- unless you need a 100+ octane fuel, then there is no reason why you need to mix E85 with premium unleaded. you can run it mixed with 87 octane and it will work better than just premium unleaded, but for significantly less money.

i have to laugh, everyone talks about all the crud in their tank
in my auto shop we replace one or two fuel pumps a week, & i have yet to see a gas tank with a bunch of crud in it
maby on a junker that sits all the time. the fuel filters do get full on all cars & is just a maintenance thing
