I could give a rat's patootie about flex fuel capability. There's not an ethanol station within a thousand miles of my house. It's a gimmick unless you live in freakin' Iowa. The one good thing good about flex fuel capability is that the fuel delivery system can take the funky chemicals without drying out and cracking better. When they went with benzene and MTBE in our fuel here, I had premium Gates hoses and gaskets turning to krap in only a year.

Yeah that is the problem, if I feel like driving to 200 miles to gas up my Tahoe, E 85 is a joke. I also understand you're mileage drops like a stone, but it is like running premium gas and burns cleaner.
I must say I am very excited about the V8 powered H3 and I bet it will out sell the 5 cylinder H3 4 to 1 and I bet GM ends up dropping the I5 power plant which they should. I would like to see the power boosted to 320 HP, then there is no competition, oh wait the LR3 puts out 300 HP, but is not to reliable, so once again no competition.
