Even non-flexfuel cars nowadays feature the ability to vary the ignition timing. IIRC what's really the most critical component enabling flexfuel ability is the OČ sensor. I remember when Yamaha introduced the YS 250 to Brazil, and the lack of an OČ sensor was the reason to blame for the lack of flexfuel ability.
