Buickanddeere - I agree with you that drive through's at fast food (Fat food ) and banks waste a lot of fuel. But likely here to stay. Thank goodness that US oil purchases have changed. We need to end all importation of oil to the US, and become self supplying for all our fuel needs ! Merry Christmas !

Stop and go rush hour driving in the Bay Area wastes a lot of fuel... hours to travel 30 miles which included two trips across the Bay Bridge...

I think I would buy a motorcycle if I had to commute!

Terry, you need to give it a rest. The E85 bandwagon is pretty much you alone. It makes no sense for anyone who can do math. Stop hijacking threads for your pet issue (or perhaps the issue you are paid to push here).

Open your eyes, if GM, Ford , Dodge and other manufactures didnt care about E85, they wouldnt offer capable engines. There is a market of people who want E85 capable vehicles, not just 1 person.

No, Dave I am NOT being paid to promote anything. I would NOT own a non E85 vehicle. I will drive 50 miles out of my way to fill up with E85. I strongly believe in Ethanol. Sorry that you do not, but be open minded & someday I hope you will move over to the Ethanol camp ! Merry Christmas.

ethanol as fuel: engines designed for ethanol use are very efficient. Better than a regular gasoline engine I read.

True. But a Flex Fuel vehicle is a compromise. There are motors out there that only run E85. They use about 18 to 1 compression like a diesel and do very well. Problem is E85 is not avaliable enough to make them a viable option and the cost of the fuel is a limiting factor.

ALL IMPORTS ?? Please be careful with that thought because then you are also cutting off oil from Canada, and last I checked , we were supposed friends of USA (Although Obama has not been a friend calling our oil dirty! , meanwhile his dirty coal plants keep on truckin)

Just pointing out that there may be more to eythenol than some of us are aware of. It goes back a long way for usage and engine design. Think "Offy Indianapolis" for an example.

Thanks Egon. Seems a lot of people simply do not want to understand the plus 's of Ethanol.
