Is there a point to them? I have the option of an FFV engine but im not sure whether to bother. I know FFV engines are rated for E85 thus have anti corrosion properties but is that about it?

You dont get a lower tax band, mpg goes down on E85 and its about 2p cheaper if you can find any. Does anyone here use E85?

    It gives much more power on engines if its mapped for it and its is more eco friendly plus cheaper its more for most cars sold in the UK a advertising thing than anything else IMO at the moment
