Flex E85 Video

It's about 10 minutes but worth watching. Hopefully, all of this conservation/saving fuel, via FLEXE 85, will become a reality.

The wait for E85 in my Lariat was worth it!

Due to the incredibly stupid scenario with gasoline a year ago (after Katrina's problems), I waited for several months until Ford had the E85 Flex Fuel option in the F-150/5.4 Liter Engine available to take delivery of my '06 Lariat.
Now, my problem is finding a station in the Phoenix area that will have E85 instead of having to drive 90 miles to Tucson which has three E85 stations.
The only thing that will kill a national consumer motivation to completely switch the U.S. gasoline infrastructure to using E85 and bio-diesel is Ford, GM and Chrysler not offering every vehicle with E85 safe engines or bio-diesel trucks.
I am looking for a convertible to become my new daily driver, Ford doesn't offer E85 in a '07 Mustang GT, Chevrolet doesn't allow E85 in a new Corvette, the new Jeep Wrangler does not use E85 as a flex fuel, and so on. I'll wait for 2008 models to be released to find a E85 using convertible.

Thanks for that video. Very informative. Now we just have to get past the oil companies to have this new fuel distributed everywhere. I think that people would much rather get away from gasoline even if gasoline was cheaper. I mean if you are still only paying .70 to 1.00 a gallon, I would pay that than if gas was .50. I think we definitely need to move away from gas once and for all.
