And unfortunately I can't think of a single boosted E85 application during the time I ran powertrain portfolio planning, so you may want to keep an eye on that one.

No way they would do that without the hardware prepped to handle it and the engines were run as delivered by GM.
Good to hear. I had completely forgotten about BioPower.
