Default Flex Fuel Badge

How many of you guys have a "Flex-Fuel" badge on your car? I just converted to straight E85 with a Holley Dominator EFI and it does NOT offer true Flex-Fuel capabilities (yet).

I know a ton of guys who run just straight E85 or two maps and have the badge. It seems wrong to me. True Flex Fuel operation is either fuel type or a MIXTURE of both. I like to be politically correct, so would I be wrong to put a Flex Fuel badge on my car?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, it seemed more fitting here than in fueling.

I think you are way over thinking this. Personally I would leave the badge off, jmo... But it puts me in the mind of like in the 90's when you saw ABS and EFI badges on the exterior of cars.

Well my car is not an F-body. I figured I was over thinking it, I just like to be politically correct.





And I actually think it's pretty nice.. if it were correct, and you were running an Ethanol sensor.

in my book badges are a bad thing to add to a car period it just detracts from the cleanness of the car.

Hybrid haha.. I could always throw on the Clean access ok sticker on it too, lol.

I'm not going to do the flexfuel badge.. I just don't believe its correct if I am not truly running Flexfuel.

However, I was thinking of:
