Sinking Slowly into the Sunset

Quick correction. Over 7 million Flex Fuel vehicles on the road. Lets do the math. All use E85 (derived from multiple sources) will displace 3.6 billion gallons of fuel each year (10 gal per week X 7 million vehicles x 52 weeks). Nothing else could have that impact on oil virtually overnight. GM has committed to continue to expand its lineup of E85 capable vehicles.

User 223180 - You are exactly right. Nice to hear from someone who is informed instead of the hearsay we normally get. Keep getting the word out that there are now nearly 5 million Flex Fuel vehicles on the road.

What we really need is an energy policy that has a comprehensive plan to reduce transportation petroleum use by a set date. If we can mandate car companies, why not the oilies? Force them to make 10% of their annual station refreshes include alternate fuel (I prefer hydrogen) over the next 10 years. I understand they refresh every 10-15 years. That would get the infrastructure in place in time for the vehicles.
