Is there any E85 compact cars out on the market now?

Answer 1

Go to :

http://e85fuel.com

This site will show you ALL e85 capable vehicles on the market & also all e85 capable vehicles ever made, in case you are purchasing a pre-owned vehicle.

If purchasing a pre-owned vehicle, please note, that often sellers do not even realize that thier vehicle IS a flex-fuel vehicle.
This website will show you how to determine (with the VIN) which ones are.

If purchasing a NEW Flex-Fuel vehicle, there are afew things you need to know as well:

There may be both STATE & FEDERAL income tax incentives available to you.
(Do not expect your sales person to know about them. Sales people sell vehicles, they are not tax advisors.)

You will experience a slight DECREASE in MPG when using E85 vs gasoline, but it is NOT as much as all the ethanol 'nay-sayers' would lead you to believe.
I personally have conducted my own experiments, & 'lost' ONE mpg with a 2005 Ford Explorer. & my 'Internet Manager' is currantly singing the praises of Ethanol. He's been experiancing an average of 2 mpg loss in his 2006 F150, but is buying E 85 for $2.41 a gallon. (that's about a 60 cents savings per gallon in Chicagoland)

& finally, you should know that, a flex-fuel vehicle is just another vehicle when you are using gasoline! Every gallon of e85 that you use is helping to decrease dependancy on 'foreign oil'
& YOU SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR THAT !!!

THANK YOU !!

No, the Chevy Aveo will probly come out in a few years. My experience with ford has been awful, it had to have the whole geartrain replaced and that still didnt fix the problem. My 14 year old Saturn (GM, same as Chevy) has had no problems. The funny thing is, the Saturns more than twice as old! Toyotas require Premium gas, which is about 15% more expensive so they arent really a bargian.

Vehix provides the most comprehensive data for new and used cars. This site is great, and I find it easier than Edmunds to use. It keeps its databank for older cars, unlike any other site Hope this helps:)
