Heet vs E85

Question for you....

So its going to be a high of -5 on thursday....and as i always have in winter i run a few bottles of HEET in my tank to keep from getting gas line freeze, and to help it start up a bit faster....now i know some people think its not needed, but thats not my question....

My question is, will E85 do the same thing as heet....i know heet is methyl alchohol vs Ethyl .....same end result?

No, if I remember right methyl alchohol absorbs water and ethyl does not
