these cars just haven't been out long enough for anyone to know anything positively. everyone with e85 in their tank is a guinea pig at this point.

I agree with your statement except the bold part. It's not that they lie, but there is no reason to say they are when the fuel maps made for the car are not compatible with E85. This is an affordable sportscar, not a flex fuel fuel economy sedan, so why waste effort, design and money on making a flex fuel map and market it as a fuel economy, environment friendly car?

Just a counterpoint, who knows you might even be absolutely correct.
