E85 and Flex Fuel Vehicles – Why Yellow is the New Green

You have probably heard the term E85 used before, witnessed some vehicles badged with the FlexFuel signature or even stopped at a gas station that offers it and been slightly puzzled. E85 is an alcohol fuel mixture that is composed of up to 85% denatured ethanol with the remainder standard gasoline. Currently, most fuel is composed of roughly 90% gasoline and 10% percent ethanol. With E85, this formula is pretty much reversed. The following is a look at the pros and cons of E85 for the environment as well as a discussion on how E85 works in your car.

Alternative Fuel Review

Although millions of alternative fuel vehicles are now on the road, the fact is that many of us are hooked on oil.

The Peak Oil theory states that gas prices will become unbearable between 2010 and 2020. We’re experiencing the beginning of something like that now.
