So when you run a richer ratio for E85 you get more energy, hence more power, but you use more fuel. Methanol you use even more fuel but you cram even more energy, hence even more fuel.

Based on the cool burning statement.
I wold like to add ,that e85 allows you to throw a bit more timing at the motor also,with all other factors being the same across the board.
