Re: where are the choices of E85 flexfuel cars?
I have an 2008 Impala that is flex fuel.I just ran my first tank of E85 and got alomost 21 MPG.I am very happy.My only issue is IMO E85 is about .50c too expensive.In the Chicagoland area it is usually .40c cheaper than reg fuel.If E85 was $1 cheaper than regular fuel GM and all the other Manufactors would sell Flex Fuel cars like hotcakes.

Re: where are the choices of E85 flexfuel cars?
I was also concerned about cold weather performance.The car did not skip a beat.There is a station near my house that sells E 85 so I am very happy.
