ok... AFAIK GM stopped using this sensor in their flex fuel vehicles because they were failing too often.Everyone has choices.
Wrong again.

FYI, GM did stop using these sensors in their vehicles around 2006. They now rely on an algorithm based on fuel trims to calculate ethanol content on their flex fuel cars. This my have been done to cut costs and complexity though.

there have been cases in many of the bayarea e85 stations having less than 70% content, so check your e85
atleast in every big fill up
30 minutes wait, about 82-83% content

No hostility. I didn't post with any?
Any self respecting tuner/owner should never put "blind trust" in anything when tuning/tuned for E85.
That is correct. The trim interpolation is "good enough" for very conservative world cars.
Highly tuned double OEM horsepower cars, not so much.
