Realistically unless you design an engine to run on E85 soley, it's quite pointless... Most FlexFuel cars don't have fuel sensors to detect the quantity of petrol vs bio-ethanol in the fuel, so don't adjust parameters accordingly.
Basically, you want to develop a relatively high compression (and/or turbocharged) engine for use with Bio-Ethanol, that way you can improve thermal efficiency... Oh wait, then you increase combustion temperature, then NOx emissions go up... Surprise sur-f*cking-prise!!!!
