ethonal With chip??

I have been pondering this for sometime you need to run a premium fuel with your chips for them to work effectively and ethonal has a higher octane than that of regular pump gas could you shoot in a little ethonal get your octane bumped up and save allittle money? I have a friend who over the course of a year weaned his truck onto pure e85 (Dodge 360 in a 93 3/4 ton but dont think that matters) he started with about 3/4 tank of regular fuel and 1/4 tank of e85 and slowly made the transition took him roughly 10 months he says he notices absolutely no difference in power and gets roughly 1 mpg less with the e85 but it still pays for itself in the cheaper fuel. Question is am i way out in left field with this idea or do i have something i should mabe try bouncing around up there give me your imput
