How the heck does that work without a fuel composition sensor and the appropriate Air Fuel ratio. Still, looks good!

i just did a pretty big speech for a final in one of my classes on flex-fuel. from what i found researching it was the reason why it's not good for "non" flex-fuel vehicles is because the ethanol is corrosive on rubber parts and some aluminum parts. other then that, it's just higher octane (about 105) it's still 15% petroleum so that's what helps save a lot of the parts...hence E85 (85% ethanol 15% petroleum)

kinda cool to see they ran that for that long with little problems though. mostly the injectors pump and lines take the "beating" from the ethanol.

Most OBDII cars fuel system components will handle the E85 just fine, the corrosiveness of the fuel is just propaganda spewed by big oil. We test E10, E20, E50, and E85 at our school pretty extensively and the corrosion is pretty much non existant on newer vehicles.

E85 has a lower energy contect per gallon than regular gasoline. As a result you have to put more E85 into each cylinder than gasoline to achieve the same power output. This is what causes the decreased gas mileage.
