Then why not change it daily, or at least every time you fill the petrol tank?

I'd like to be able to run E85 & ULP98 without me having to do much/anything apart from simply filling up.
With only 1-2 petrol stations in Canberra having E85 & numerous trips to country NSW, running just E85 is not an option.
So a few questions:
Is the ability to run both E85 & ULP98 feasible/practical?
What parts are required (rough costing)?
What will the total setup cost be (rough install cost)?
What are the pros/cons of running E85 (fuel consumption / power)?
Anything else relevant that I've missed...

Not really practical without the possibility of running both fuels.

As far as I know there is currently no way for you to be able to do it with having to do nothing other than fill up. There may be a flex fuel type sensor or conversion package you can purchase for our vehicles that I don't know about but as far as I know it's got a lot to do with the tune on our cars as well.
Mick (dr20t) tossed up the idea a while back of having 2 separate ECUs, one with a 98 tune and one with an E85 tune, however the car keys etc. are linked to the ECU so this theory was thrown out. The way most people tend to do it is have two different tunes saved, and when you want to switch between fuels you drain the current tank, and reflash the tune for the other fuel type.

Hmmm I doubt it.
But even so, it still involves disconnecting your ECU and reconnecting it, little bit more hassle than reflashing but prolongs the life of your ECU by not having to reflash at all.
