cars. It's just a matter of optimizing for the higher octane in E85

keep in mind an ethanol powered car running on E85 is cutting gasoline consumption by 85%.

(AND THIS IS AT NO EXTRA COST FOR THE CAR! FFV do not cost any more than a regular car!)

ANY car that uses gasoline can use E15 (15% ethanol) and would be cutting gasoline consumption
by 15%.

Of course, if you combine ethanol WITH Hybrid technology you get , what about 10 - 15% reduction in gas consumption for the hybrid (using real world numbers) plus, 15% reduction if you use E15 yielding a 28% reduction in gsaasoline consumption!

Now if you put a FFV engine in the Hybrid you would get 15% reduction for hybrid technology and 85% rreduction from the E85 usage , yielding an 87.25% reduction in gasoline consumption.
