Hey Billy, what happened to the caps?

Thanks for the info buddy. I am seriously looking at all my options for our next car. Luckily for me, we won't need a new one for some years to come, but I want to be prepared should the need arise unexpectedly (i.e., my Taurus has 133,000 on it and her Sonata has 73,000 on it).

I definitely want to get something that gets more than 30 mpg or runs on some fuel cheaper than gasoline, more efficient than gasoline, and/or more abundant than gasoline. Ford use to offer a motor in the Taurus that was a flex fuel motor. I don't know the specifics of it, but it was available when I bought my Taurus. Haven't seen it as an option on the new one though, but I will confess that I haven't looked that hard.

Right now, I am leaning toward the Escape hybrid that gets 40 mpg highway. Ideally, I would like a hybrid or flex fuel Explorer or Expedition, and I am hoping Ford gets that in the works soon so that the kinks can be worked out before I have to buy another car.

Who knows, maybe ethanol will be the fuel of choice later on or I might just have to go with pedal power and put some racks on my bike.
