Burning E85

Hey guys, I'm running a Weber two barrel carb on the Suzuki Samurai, I'm wondering if by adjusting the air/fuel mixture knob E-85 would be OK? Or is there more to it than that? Timing, hotter plugs?
The Samurai is my desert car and seldom goes over 55 mph so a lack of a few horsepower is not a concern, heck the little thing hardly goes over 65 with a good tailwind

E-85 was going for 3.29 in town the other day and regular today was 3.79 When you are retired every penny helps, and .50 cents a gallon is a lot.
Any ideas?
