[QUOTE="IUP99snake, post: 8461070, member: 7060"] Good point. Right now, there's only 9 public E-85 stations here in Florida. Now, don't forget, that article mentioned that the engine can run on entirely gasoline or entirely E-85. The reason why it has a separate fuel system for each is to allow the computer to more precisely regulate and optimize fuel delivery based on the operating conditions to maximize power and economy while reducing detonation. With the conventional flex fuel vehicles, either form of fuel is put in the same tank. The computer can't possibly optimize output when it has no control over the proportion of gasoline to E-85. Granted, most (if not all) existing flex fuel vehicles are naturally aspirated, which makes it less important for the computer to have such a high degree of control over power output, fuel delivery, timing, etc. Homer [/QUOTE]
