List of Flex Fuel Cars in America

1I have got a lot of interest from readers on my flex fuel related pages.  If you want to start on the topic, maybe you want to check my article Living on Ethanol, one of the most popular on this site.  After that you can browse through the articles in the category Flex Fuel.  Flex fuel cars are cars that can run on either gasoline or ethanol or a mix of them.

Flex fuel cars are a huge success in Brazil where about 3/4ths of all new cars are Flex Fuel Vehicles.  In the US, the top 3 car manufacturers are building and selling the cars but the fact is not as well known as in Brazil.  The infrastructure of gas pumps available in the US is simple very small.  However, with the rising gas prices the number of gas stations carrying ethanol should grow in the next few years.  Ethanol in the US is commonly called E85, as it is a mix of ethanol and gasoline, with 85% of the mix being ethanol.  In Brazil you can run a car on 100% ethanol, since the warmer weather allows for this.

Here are the websites from top US automakers where you can find the list of Flex Fuel Vehicles on each of their line ups:

·        Chrysler

·        General Motors

·        Ford

Want to see other car makers on this list?  Just add to the comment stream.  I will add more links soon.
