Is Flex-Fuel dead, for 2016, at Gm

In all the media guides for the new 2016 Camaro, Malibu, & Cruze,
I didn't see the word Flex-Fuel, anywhere?

Is Flex-Fuel dead?

Hmm...
I think that I found the answer, to my own question...

Camaro never had flex fuel, nor did Cruze.

4.3 and 5.3 trucks are, and it is now a $100 to add to 5.3 as it is no longer standard compatibility. Impala with the 3.6 is flex. 4.8 and 6.0 Vortec are flex, LKW 2.5 in Impala/Malibu is flex.

LKW is dead, for 2016, & is being replaced with the LCV, which isn't Flex-Fuel.
Maybe, the 3.6 LFX, is the only Flex-Fuel engine left, if it, hasn't been killed off, for 2016, for GM cars?

With gas prices so low, maybe it didn't make sense financially.

It's never really made sense financially. The only time I ever used E85 was in a Taurus rental because gas was $3+/gallon and E85 was still in the mid-2s. They never said what fuel to use, just to bring it back full...
