The biggest question with flex fuel cars & trucks is where are you going to get the fuel? Here at least in my small city no one has it at the pump. I can get some ethanol blended fuels at the pump, but they are even more than regular gas. We are getting an ethanol plant built here locally, but I don't know if it is going to help or not.

To tell the truth the best way is probably bio-diesel. Easy to make, and cheap to produce. Most diesel engines will run with it without any major modifcations, and some with out any changes at all.

I complain about our gas prices all the time, and there is reason too... I have a refinery & upgrader in the city, and live in the heart of the Canadian oil fields. Come on, I have to pay international prices for the oil under my feet?? It does not make sense, maybe we should stop exporting our oil, and see what it does to the world economy, as well as our own.

Enough of that tangent, what my point is, until flex fuel is more available, or hybrid cars & trucks come down in cost, I will drive what I have too, and in my case it is a ranger, and a explorer sport, but that liberty diesel may be in the driveway yet this year.
