Ethanol does not have the energy density of gas. You & I would get better milage w/o the corn crap. As for flex fuel vehicles, they exist due to the efforts of the sh!theads that lobby for the farmers. CAFE started in 1975. Get better fuel milage to reduce foreign dependency. The clowns that get Fed money to grow the special corn for E85 paid into the system to get the energy equivalent for flex fuel cars and trucks. Read that as a E85 vehicle gets the same as like 60mpg. We all know next to none of them have ever burned E85. To think they will get better milage due to E85 is as big a joke. Any test shows you need to burn way more E85 to go a given distance compared real gasoline. But if GMand Chrysler sell these unreal E85 super milage cars, the CAFE number is met and they can avoid R&D to build a car like the Yaris. You know how much you need a 10mpg SUV or pick-up. Hell, they fund the disgusting bounuses and retirement funds.
