Are you sure? Let me tell you some. Ethanol or distilled alcohol really likes moisture and mixes readily with water. This is not what the fuel system metal parts injectors and pumps like. In ground E-85 tanks must be fiberglass double wall and kept free from moisture. E-85 is about 20% to 30% less effective than gasoline. Less mileage per tankful. Plus the energy waste heating the fermented corn mash to 185 degrees to distill the alcohol. What do you think is a pro? Cleaner running? Less power? More Heat energy waste? Acres of crops fertilizer pesticides soil erosion?

as far as i've heard, theres basically just those things, because the only difference between a regualr car and a flex fuel vehicle, is the hoses.... ethanol is more corrosive so they need to use differnet tubing for fuel lines and such.... someone correct me if i'm wrong

Well, I heard less gas mileage. 20% less?? Also, heard that it has more octane, than even the premium.

Not a lot of gas stations to fill up.
