im probably buying her an A6 this weekend, so that should calm her down.

I will probably pull a fuse or something so it wont start while Im gone. easiest solution to all of this.

Lol!!
This reminds me of when my wife was really proud of herself when she said she saved some money by putting the "cheap" stuff in, 87 octane. Cost me 2 bottles of mmt octane booster and a few gallons of e85 but she's still around and a bit wiser about fuel choices.

That being said, what is safer to use, the JB4 w/ flash, or the Procede w/ flex fuel sensor?

I am sometimes away from home for weeks and my wife will occasionally drive my car. I can just see her putting in 91 instead of e85 one of these times, and if that happens, which one will adapt better? I know the Procede w/ flex fuel will recognize that there isnt e85, but will the JB4 recognize it as well? And either way, will they adapt quick enough/ or enough that it wont screw everything up?

And getting her to change the map or anything like that isnt going to work. Its hard enough trying to tell her how to program the radio buttons...

I dont want to start a Procede vs JB4 war, or a customer service/support debate, just which one is dumb wife proof.
Mine is trained on Cobb. They do learn quickly.
