You have the "flexibility" of using pump gas or E85 gasoline at any given time, on any given amount and your ECU will adjust and optimize fuel maps for whatever amount of ethanol is in your gas.

oooh.. so im guessing I don't have to limit myself to one gas station? I can go multiple shell/BP outlets and the ecu will correct for each type of fuel from different outlets? Because here in Australia, we have inconsistencies with petrol from each outlet.. whichever company it's from.

I know my money is going into a flex-fuel kit pretty soon, I'm really looking forward to this whole thing.

If you follow his channel on youtube, youll see some really nice things.

The last video he uploaded left me in awww. Amazing what hes doing with those GTRs.

I hope it comes along like that for the FRS/BRZ community.
