Don't confuse 88 octane rating with E85. E85 is (up to) 85% ethanol, the rest gasoline. Typical unleaded gasoline is up to 10% ethanol, or E10. The key difference with 88 is that it's 15% ethanol. So, 88 octane is essentially E15, not E85.
So no, you don't need a Flex Fuel designated vehicle. You may want to check your manual to see the max ethanol content recommended, but it's only going from the 10% ethanol you already run, up to 15%, something many modern vehicles will have little issue with.

That said, I only run it when I get a rental car. A hybrid + $2 unl88 = ~$0.04/mile, cheaper than an EV!
