Buy a prius own both, best of both worlds or better yet buy a scooter.

Has anyone here acually done any of their own research about E-85? Sounds like a ship full of Parots.

Don't buy into the E85 crap. This isn't Brazil. The more people push E85, the more it drives up the cost of food. The more crop that's used to make E85, drives up the cost of feed that's used to feed beef and pork. Not to mention that most of the crop is human edible and will drive cost up itself in makeing/getting to your grocer.

Use your right foot wiser, that's how to be a fuel miser.

Uh... that's was fukkin' corny... dammit, did it again. I'm soy silly. Dammit!!



Now, I'm not totally against E85. But it's cost (+impact) to bring to big market is tremendous. From the plants that are used to make it, to the implementing of the fuel stations across the nation. The only company with plans for nationwide distribution of E85 setups en masse in the near future is Walmart... at least as heard late last year. The other companies are focusing on existing product. After all, they've been building power on it for decades. To them, nothing is broken and no matter the price the consumer will pay it.

FYI... Brazil makes it's e85 mostly out of sugar cane. e85 while having a higher octane rating has a slower burn rate producing less energy per combustion cycle. Another thing all these high bred's and electric's don't take into account is the cost of replacing all those banks of batteries and what to do with them when they are shot. Sure we can recycle but it's not 100%. Additionaly a large part of Americas electric is still produced by coal powered generators.
