e85 isn't everywhere, so when a regular engine is built to accept both, it can't be built with the benefit of high compression, because it still needs to run on reg. 87.
I don't know, but would think that if you did build an engine for e85, you should be able to take advantage of the high compression, and make something much more efficient than the flex-fuel cars we see now.
