Dumb question, as I don't understand. Is a North American 2020 MK7 an E85-compatible vehicle?

Definitely better than what I did when I was younger and dumber lol. I’d run my mk6 down to 0 miles till empty driving to Atco, grab 2 gallons of VP112 and run all night then drive to work and if I remembered fill back up with 93.

Needless to say the LPFP died a honorable, but untimely death

Nope, and that’s a mk7.

Definitely not a dumb question though these cars LOVE e85 but you need to upgrade the pumps to run greater than an E30 blend. It’s not a compatibility thing, it’s just you need a greater volume of E to equal the same BTU as 93 octane

It has also been brought to my attention I could just T off the mpi fuel rail and idle the car and let a hose drain from there.

Sounds like an idea for future me.
