Yes, in vehicles that are not optimized for it (pretty much every vehicle on the road). Maybe not in vehicles that are.

I didnt forget about compression ratio

Now back to the Topic here.
I would place money that there will be a flex-fuel Camaro the first year, let me restate that, first model year as in when the vert comes out. The main differance here is just, fuel tank, lines, a sensor, and computer program.
I also have a feeling that the new Gen V engines will be the start of bringing back higher compression engines to better use E85 and other alcohol fuels.
And with all of this is why I love old cars and engines with no computer controls. When the time comes that all gas stations will be required to sell E85, my truck (with a compression already of 13:1) will require just a few turns of a screw driver and will run great on E85.

The tank is a guess on the fact that it may need some insulation so that you dont have a large amount of vapor in the tank which wouldnt be good in a crash.
