PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a starting device for a flexible fuel vehicle effectively reducing consumption of gasoline fuel, by saving on the gasoline fuel in low-temperature start of an engine. SOLUTION: The starting device for a flexible fuel vehicle improves startability of an engine, by using mixed fuel mixing the gasoline fuel with high ignitability into alcohol fuel in the low-temperature start of the engine 1. The starting device comprises: a sleep timer 34 measuring an unoperated time from previous engine stop to engine restart; a cooling water temperature sensor 32 detecting a temperature of cooling water; and a gasoline fuel mixed amount calculation means 36 calculating a required mixed amount of the gasoline fuel with respect to the alcohol fuel, based on the cooling water temperature and the unoperated time.
