Or would it be all or nothing in that if it detects e85 I'm running higher, then if a retailer is not honest and actual mix is "e78" I don't get the benefit? Just some q that pop up in my head.
I'm not sure how they'd make a motor adjust compression, that's a lot more advanced than what they have in their FFV's currently. Currently from what I've read, there is just a sensor that determines how much alcohol is present and adjusts the air/fuel mixture and makes sure the system doesn't show it's running lean on E85.
