It's the same elsewhere. What I meant is, as most cars with EFI have oxygen sensors anyway, some folks actually tried to run on ethanol on non-flexfuel models expecting the EFI and ignition to compensate. Sure a CEL might be triggered once the ECM is not programmed specificly to handle a higher amount of ethanol.
