well not onto can bus but you could add your own oil pressure sensor then feed the output of sensor into an unused ecu input (evap or rear 02) then feed it into custom map table and use it to log and for safety cutout

We're clearly a huge proponent of Flex Fuel, and OFT guys are clearly a huge proponent of switchable maps since Flex Fuel functionality isn't there for now. Either side saying one is unnecessary or better is going to be pretty biased, so here's a video of one customer that has tried both systems:

I have OFT, but a Flex Fuel kit is clearly a better solution for the average user.

But $500 for an OFT and $1300+ for a Flex Fuel kit and tune......makes the decision for a lot of people.

never having to worry about "e" content, never having to deal with "dead pedal after reflash" for 50-100 miles, switchable maps(ffs, valet modes and on-the-fly adjustable launch control) and F.I. is why I use flexfuel

Flex fuel is great but in Australia its going to set you back $2200 USD for flex as oposed to about $500 USD for a map switch tune (if you can get someone to flash it for you) with ecutek or an oft, you guys are lucky in USA stuff is heaps cheaper and tuning is heaps cheaper especially ecutek tuning , here they charge like wounded bulls
its about $1300 usd just for an NA tune no flex kit.

Luckly our E85 is far more controlled E content than usa, which help for non flex systems
