With the way some people drive if you have used a tank of E85 and do a full tank of regular and booting it before the knock sensors adjust, after a period of time I can't see this being healthy?

Might be making an issue of nothing here :togo:
The technology originates from the USA and a Flex Fuel Vehicle enables
the engine to accept flexible percentages of ethanol from zero to 85%.

The funny thing is that E85 isn't all that popular in the states so unless the
government gets behind cane farmers and refineries, i doubt it's going anywhere.
