22. Yeah, I know, but they are producing more FFVs as sedans too, now.
They are selling Impalas that are FFVs now. I don't know about Ford. I think if ethanol (even just 15% or Gasahol 10%) were more available people would start buying it and that might have an effect on the auto manufacturers to make more different vehicles FFV. Bt GM is really kindof jumping on the bandwagon now though. They are even (Ford also) helping independent gas stations with the cost of offering a pump with Ethanol 85. (until volume goes up,gas stations aren't interested in devoting a pump to E85). http://www.iags.org/n033104t2.htm

Any car that runs on gas can use Ethanol 15% or Gasahol (10%) and you would be instantly helping to reduce gas consumption WITHOUT BUYING A NEW CAR.

We should be trying to double ethanol production in say four years an then double it again. we are very likely going to expeeriencde an oil supply disruption in the next year to 5 yrs or 5 - 10%.
Thsi will cause gas prices to shoot up and could result in a recession. If we had ethanol up to 55 to 10% of the gas supply that would provide protection against just such a scenario.
