Some one posted a similar issue on another forum...



My Suggestion... Don't get a flex fuel car EVER. They are worse emissions the a unleaded gas and takes 2x the amount of fuel to get the same mileage as a unleaded gas. Plus it costs 20 cents cheaper per gallon but calculate with the mileage = more money for the Ga$/Oil companies. That is why they bought up alot of the corn farms around Brazil... lol



If you ever want save money at the pump and have a truck, a diesel is the way to go. Though there $$$. Car wise, Volkswagon as a diesil car they build. Gets around 40 I believe per gallon. Plus diesels have a history of being lasting a LONG time if you maintain them though you might not want one if you live anywhere really cold during the winter.
