On the other hand, most guys I know that run E85 will test every fillup they get.
The car should be able to pull the timing to prevent knock, there should not be any serious issues. If the manufacturer doesn't plan for that possibility it's poor design on their part.

I agree it shouldn't be put to the test but it isn't the end of the world, if the car can't take it I wonder what other corners they cut...

Also looks like I was making stuff up with the "bad gas doesn't exist" claim:

Guess I might start getting receipts for gas again after all.
