Interesting product for 549 euro. We have been converting Toyota and Ford hybrids to flex fuel for a few years and our system only cost $199 US retail and right now only $99. How could a company like Green Fuel Systems expect to charge a price like that. One should ask if Green Fuel Systems really cares about the environment or cares about making money. Jonnyenergy.com

The bottom line reason “why” the “big three are heading down the toilet” is because of what we as-a-nation ask of it. We b*tch for higher (union) wages, for lower (made in China) prices, for high-interest investments for our retirements (whose earnings come from the profits of our companies) AND YET, somehow in the midst of it, expect the latest and greatest products. I’m not saying whose right and whose wrong….just that it irks me to heck when so much blame is put on our companies for not being able to do…basically the UNDO-ABLE. Just my $0.02.

Its a bit misleading to assert that Ethanol based fuel is inefficient. In realty sugar based ethanol (as in the type of fuel used in Brazil) is on par with traditional petroleum based fuels. Corn based ethanol, however is indeed inefficient.

GM ‘s sudden stewardship of the environment is simply a way to continue to make gas guzzlers thanks to E85 an extremely inefficient fuel. The CAFE standards call for all car companies to achieve an average MPG for all vehicles. I believe the most recent number is 27 MPG. Well if you make the biggest money off of 10 miles per gallon SUV’s you would hate to say good bye to them wouldn’t you?
The CAFE standards has a loophole, that being that an E85 vehicle operating on E85 miles per gallon are ONLY figured against the actual amount of gasoline in the blend (15%) if you divide 100% fuel by 15% gasoline you get the multiplier to the mpg (666) therefore a gas guzzling 10 MPG SUV is given credit for 66.6 MPG. If you sell one SUV like this you can have 5 vehicles only achieving 20 MPG and this gas guzzling SUV and you average more than 27 MPG overall while not one of their vehicles really met the standard.
GM is not the only one taking advantage of this free ride Ford and Chrysler are too. The big three are heading down the toilet and this is just their hands clinging to the rim.
