  • When you say 25% less carbon emissions, does that take into account that the energy content of E85 is less, causing you to use roughly 25% more fuel? Or is it only on a gallon by gallon basis?

  • There are many alternative fuels. Algae (Fungus) is Butanol.  Bio-Fuel (sugar cane) is ethanol. Hydrogen Gas is from Water. Electricity is from the Clean Power Plant.

  • Every man's dream? I saw a similar vehicle mentioned online at fasteconomicalcars (.) com

  • Because America is spoiled. That V-8 stuff is fake.

  • It does not pollute more. Are you stupid or something?!!

  • We are not using the corn that is grown now for gasoline you idiot. Ethanol is impossible to find? ITS SOIL!! WHAT WE CALL DIRT!!

  • Ethanol is cleaner than regular gasoline.

  • Who cares about "pollution" or "Food Supply" Corn isn't even food. It was used as a slave food back in the slave days, and it is used to fatten cattle up, and fatten our people up. Watch "King Korn" I am all about taking all of americas corn out of all of our food, and getting it in our gas tanks. My next car will run on E85-E100 with a Hybrid. (My car is a 2005 honda element)

  • But what do you do with all these monkeys who insist on buying V8 sports cars that run on regular gasoline, not caring where it comes from, who have no autobahn to even drive it on...

  • Ethanol is a great fuel, I think that most people are not educated to the benefits of using domestic produced ethanol.
