That is interesting. A few years ago cold start on E85 could be a problem here - although typically cold start here would be a lot colder that in Brazil. I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it but I haven't seen anyone having that problem for quite a while, with any injection type. Perhaps the tuners have just got better at it.
